In fact, it didn't fair anywhere near as well as Mobil 1 did in failure testing conducted. I was going to go with Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5W30 until I read the test at the link I provided and saw that the Pennzoil costs a good amount more than Mobil 1 and isn't as good. Don't believe all the marketing hype out there.
Check out the testing done here:

That test is pure garbage.
Based on what evidence? Where has there been independent testing anywhere showing that Pennzoil Ultra Platinum is better than Mobil 1? I haven't found a single shred of evidence showing that. Please point me in the right direction.
The link you provide isn't evidence either. Just one man's rant. I'm not saying your opinion of PUP and PP vs M1 is wrong. (I'm not saying you are right, either.) But that website (if you can call it that) seems to be little more than one man's attempt at getting his 15 minutes of fame.
There are plenty of discussions about that particular blog, here on bitog. None are favorable. If I were better at searches, I'd provide a few links. Perhaps someone with better skills can do so.
Thank you, sir!
Hey, I would switch tomorrow from Mobil 1 to PUP if I can get some concrete data, testing, analysis showing it's better than Mobil 1. So far, I haven't found anything that is persuasive.
