I was unable to find test results for the new Pennzoil Platinum Pure Plus 5W20 synthetic oil (PQIA) ? Previous fill on my rated for 5W20 engine was M1 0W20 which was nice , however price is higher now than the Pennzoil Pure Plus at WM ($28 vs. $22) . From what I could tell on the Pure Plus 5W30 (PQIA) - the formulation changed and Moly took a hit (from 285 > 55) ... Your thoughts on the new Pure Plus as compared to M1 5W20 (or even QSUD 5W20) ?
 
I can't give any statements on Mobil 1 since I've never purchased it.

I see very little difference between PQIA's test results of 5W-30 Pennzoil Platinum and 5W-30 Pennzoil Platinum with PurePlus Technology.

Those results can be copied & pasted to MS Excel FYI.

Moly changed by 4 ppm (7%), from 59 to 55, probably well within batch-to-batch blending variations.

Phosphorous is the only statistically significant change, up 100 ppm (15%), from 651 to 751, but remember there is a sample size = 1 for both these variants in the PQIA data. This may be a change in additive package for the GTL base or may well be within batch-to-batch blending variations. Hard (at least for me) to say without a larger sample set.

The PQIA data for 5W-30 Quaker State Ultimate Durability is ver similar to their 2013 5W-30 Pennzoil Platinum sample.

The only fully synthetic 5W-20 data available at this time on PQIA is Havoline and it's most noteworthy attribute compared to the other 5W-20's tested is the significantly lower viscosity at -30°C.

Here's the Technical Data Sheet for 5W-20 Pennzoil Platinum with PurePlus Technology.

I hope this helps somewhat.

I'm currently running 5W-20 Pennzoil Platinum with PPT in my 2012 Ram 5.7L because I bought two 5 quart jugs of it at Walmart to get both the $10 rebate per jug by mail and the FRN rewards from Pennzoil. I also purchased 18 quarts of QSUD 5W-20 from Menard's when it was $1.99 / quart after sale price and rebate last month, for future use.
