Hello guys, I have a question here is my truck 2003 Tacoma V6. Now my question is what oil would you recommend me. Currently I'm using RP 5w30 as motor oil. I was thinking to switching to pennzoil ultra. My truck valvetrain noise was louder with Mobil 1 with RP I have no noise. Anyone used pennzoil ultra on Tacoma can give me feedback on Pennzoil Ultra. Thanks in advance.
Pennzoil Ultra or Royal Purple 5w30

Welcome to BITOG!
Ultra is a very good oil. It wont hurt anything to give it a shot, although its not a pao like RP.

I don't have a Tacoma, but I noticed the same valvetrain noise in my Silverado with Mobil 1 - I've been using Pennzoil Platinum 5W-30, Pennzoil Ultra 5W-30, and Castrol 0W-30 pretty much interchangeably for the past 5-6 years and I'm happy with the results - very little valvetrain noise. Ultra is an excellent oil. Try it, if you don't like it you can always go back to RP.

I had problems with valvetrain noise in my CRV with Mobil 1. I've used a lot of other brands of synthetic oil (QSUD, Pennzoil Platinum and Ultra, Castrol Edge, G-Oil, Valvoline Syntec) after the Mobil 1 noise fiasco and never had valvetrain noise again.

I suspected RP would quiet the noise.. The only way to see how PP does may be to try it for an OCI, and see if a difference is felt?
Different oils make the car feel different, yes.

Pennzoil Platinum is also a good option. Was quiet for me and other Toyota owners.

Both are great oils, but since RP is working great for you, don't change from it. RP can also go up to and extended 12K interval. Stay with a winner.

Pennzoil Purple 30w50
PU if you can find it at Walmart. Its doubtful if there is much difference between the very top motor oils of the top brands.

Can the regular version of RP go that high? I've read that it usually wears faster than PP.
