In: My last jug of older version Pennzoil Ultra 5W-20. Purolator Syn. 14610 filter.
RP gives me the highest mpg in my experience in the R18 motor (37 mpg in 60% freeway miles). From prior experience, I expect the mpg to drop by at least 1, but I know the protection and longevity of this oil is very good.
Wow, pleasantly surprised with the Penn Ultra, got 1 mpg better over the oci than the RP! So, about a week ago, I changed it out for QSUD 10W30 to see how this thicker oil does. It definitely quiets the motor a bit, but the mpg is lower, currently at 36 after 400 miles.

2011 Buick Enclave 3.6L DI. 82,400 miles, 6200 miles on oil, 1% on OLM. 1.5 Qts added as usual.
Out: PP 5W30
In: PP 5W30
ACD PF63 non-E core.
Think I need to just switch to a High Mileage. I wanted to try PP HM but couldn't find it locally. Vehicle burns between 1.5-2 quarts through 6000 miles like clockwork and always has. Great vehicle otherwise besides the annoying half dozen recalls.

2015 Kia Forte 5, 29000 km
6000 km on the oil
Out: Whatever the dealer put in last time
In: 5W20 PYB
Replaced junk dealer filter with OEM Kia filter (no name on it). I can't believe the dealer put in a non-Kia filter. The manual says to only use Kia filters. They are a very good filter. Dealer also stripped a couple of the bolts that hold the engine guard in place. I told my son to bring his car here each time for an oil change.

Burned one quart plus a few drops during the OCI, topped off with Peak conventional 5w-30
Was gonna wait till 6K miles, but got a great deal on PZ HM at the local Firestone, the only chain auto shop I will patronize. $24.36 out the door, plus free coffee and WiFi.
