Pennzoil Claims Formulation of Platinum Changed to Reflect New 15,000-mile Guarantee On Bottle

Could also be the specific individual who responded.

It is hard to believe that no one there would tell me what the HTHS is.

Shell/Pennzoil sucks at answering things so not a surprise at all.

When I read the response, I did feel like I was being treated as a nuisance.

I wonder how he would respond if you emailed him again and informed him that your a member of this forum. I’m guessing he might take it more seriously. However, it really shouldn’t make any difference.

They probably already guessed that. LOL

Tell him you’re really tight with Gena Fishbeck!

Ain’t no freakin’ way I’m going 25K miles on the same oil.

I can barely make it to 5K.

Support lines are growing ever more useless.

 

[KCJeep]

Actually the internet is becoming increasingly useless.

What ever happened to her?

She actually sent me a case of the PPPP 10W-30 back in around 2016 or so for my old 2016 WRX!

Not IMO. It seems that HTHS values are being posted less and less by the majors these days.

Kind of funny how HT/HS and VI disappeared from Mobil 1's PDS's shortly after Gokhan came up with his BOQI table LOL.

So all but Valvoline now have a 15k-25k mile/year oil.

And is it sort of the general opinion. Around here that the current M1 EP is a step down in the quality of the ingredients from the old AP from a few years ago?

No M1 triple action formula is pretty robust form what I’m hearing . Very stout base stock that few know what’s in it

Marketing works really good. How often do we have people regurgitating the marketing claims when referring to an oil or other products?

Pennzoil still has candle wax in it BTW.

I knew it them suckers been getting away with that for years now

So will PUP be advertised as 20k or 25k oil soon?

I was curious about the current formulation of Pennzoil Platinum, since I took advantage of the $25 rebate and ordered 10 quarts of the 5W-30, some of which I used for the first oil change on the new 2024 Odyssey, so, using the link on the Pennzoil website, I emailed Shell Technical Support Helpdesk with 2 questions:

Why did you go with 5w30 in the Ody? Just curious of your logic to see if I need to learn something. Not starting a fight unless you are one of the Thickie-Wackos

I maintain 3 Honda V6s with like 600,000 happy miles on 0w20 or 5w20.

Kinda like the Thinnie-Wackos?

Me too, I have a case of PPPP 5W-20 she sent me. Still trying to burn through the $1/quart Magnatec before all the bottles fail…

Like anything else… trust, but VERIFY (via UOA)!
