+1. Not a lot of people use Pennzoil but I have and my father have been using it for a long time and has always been an awesome oil to us. I will keep using it as well! Right now my 5.0 has 130k on the clock and still runs as smooth as the day I bought it with about 80k.

I hate oil threads about as much as 'what gears should I run in my car' threads...

Time to bump my post count up. LOL! Walmart's own SuperTech 10w30 Synthetic and filter is what I run. Cheap and works well.

The real truth is ANY synthetic oil will work fine for year and years and years. No matter what Kind of synthetic oil it is I wouldn't have a problem running it. No matter if it's Mobil1, Royal Purple, Amsoil, Pennsoil, Q, Castrol, Shell, Valvoline, or any other major brand the engine in your car can't stress the oil enough to create an oil related failure. If the engine is assembled correctly and has sufficiant oil pressure ANY of them will be fine. Just pick one and go with it along with a quality oil filter. The biggest thing is just changing the oil on a regular basis. You could run Advance generic 10W30 conventional oil and change it regularly and you would be fine.

who here is a lubricant/liquid engineer here?

oil companies advertise like sparkplug companies.

who conducted these tests?

who sponsored them?

synthetic polymers are unique in it's own design properties..but when you get sales pitches with a popular fan liked spokesperson representing a product...well that's what you get...a popular vote...

there is no right or wrong answer just a preference...that is all.

i used mobil1 10-30 and one bottle of lucas for 9 yrs. on the same engine..some dumb dumb put a cheap filter and conventional oil in it<cheaper>..in it...within 3 day's i chewed up cam bearings lost a cylinder...ect...a worn engine on it's last leg that was relying on the extra protection ended in a premature/extended death?? your call.. i know what happened,...convenience and quality do not go hand to hand

That's because it's great oil. Formerly made by Mobil 1, Pennzoil, and Quaker State. Not sure who's currently making it now, last I heard it was Mobil 1.

Last time I was at Walmart I compared the label on the supertech to the mobil 1 oil and it was identical.
