Penzoil Ultra

What do you guys think??? I kinda wanna try it and see but ive been running RP and Mobil 1 in my car since i got it don't really want to have a 3rd brand in my inventory...maybe ill get it and put it in when the car is stored for the winter.

Its recommended for V6's and Ferrari uses it for thier cars.

I'm using it now; I'm on my second oil change. I've always used Penzoil in all my cars; but until now, Penzoil didn't offer a synthetic. Now that they do, I'm back!!

to tell you the truth, ive used multiple types of fully synthetic and theres no difference in all (that you can feel)

RP, amsoil, torque, eneos, mobil1, penzoil, castrol...tried all of those. its all on preference seeing as majority offer the same "benefits", but nowadays you cant even tell whats false or true.

again, it never hurts to try one out (preferably a reputable brand, not something called 'juan gonzalez' secret home recipe fully synthetic')

i dont remember the last time ive stuck with a brand through consecutive cycles...but I will be repeating mobil1.

some will swear by brands that others wouldn even bother buying (RP for instance)

I want to go synthetic, Jiffy Lube wants like $65.00. I won't pay that. I guess if I change it myself , with synthetic, it will cost me about the same as a regular oil change, which is $35.00 right?-- CHOP

I most agree, I hate brand jumping. I started with RP but didn't feel comfortable with it because at first it was had to find in the stores around here, especially the 5-20. So I switched over to Mobile-One. Now that Penzoil came out with this cleaning synthetic and I'm a long time fan of Penzoil, I'm back.

But synthetic oils will always out performed any fossil oil, hence why they use synthetic oil in aircraft engines.

One of the biggest reasons I do my own oil changes... I've seen/heard to many of our members as well as non-members who have been ripped-off when the dealer, or oil change places fails to perform the job correctly; like forgets to torque the drain plug and then it falls off!! or over torques the oil filter and you can't remove the filter the next time you change oil!!
