Pennzoil Ultra 5w-30, 7248 mi, 82442 mi overall

Hmmm.... I expected more Boron & Calcium in the old PU seen here: http://www.pqiamerica.com/March2013PCMO/Marchsyntheticsallfinal.html

Seems like Shell has been cheaping out the Ultra line..... Probably using the same add pack as PP now but with a slightly stronger base stock.

Pennzoil Ultra Platinum seems readily available online at Walmart - and ships free on orders over $50 - which would be two jugs. (a little under $56)

Looks like Mo and Boron made a difference there...

What was the previous oil in use, as it lacked both Moly and Boron additives ??



....Or maybe at 82K the car is fully broken in....those other UOAs were much earlier in the cars life.

Heck, German Castrol is a tough act to beat, but the GTL base stock and some Moly and Boron sure did just that!

Ahh it's not ALWAYS available from Wally world online... sometimes it's out of stock. In fact it's that way a decent percentage of the time. It's foolish that Pennzoil couldn't keep it in the stores.

I'm not sure how you determined that, there is 5 years and 50,000 miles between the last GC UOA and this one.
