P4e vs UP

[MotorsportsX]

if there is an "ultra" platinum with pp.. then to me it seems that pennzoil's "highest tier" oil, is indeed the "ultra" line. so why then, is there not a ultra platinum euro? personally I have a sneaking suspicion that pennzoil has been unable to make a version of euro that is significantly "better" than the old ultra euro. so.in order to sell the new "better" noon euro ultra they had to downgrade the nomenclature of the top tier oils. I dont know that to be a fact but sopus marketing oughta be a crime. lol.

anyways. how is P4e comparing to the oil pennzoil ultra euro. I just picked up the last ultra euro in Houston I think lol. so next time I'm gonna have to change.

How would we know? It's not been seen anywhere yet, other than on paper. And on paper, it meets the same exact mfg specs, so for all intents and purposes, it's comparable.

As far as naming goes, SOPUS has been going back and forth. Initially there was PP Euro. Then they changed it to PU Euro, and now it's back to PP Euro.

no one has seen it yet? I just went to the Dodge dealer and the guy tried to Sale me platinum euro with pure plus.... I'll pick up a quart and send off for a voa along with my change sample.

Thanks.

What cars does a Dodge dealer use it in? Fiat 500 Abarth?

 

[MotorsportsX]

back at the dealer.. the Bottle of P4e I'm looking at has a 15sept14 date on it. SN rated.. has to be the newest stuff right?

yes the fiat engines use it. the Viper and other srt engines are using ultra platinum with pure plus

 

[Quattro Pete]

Sounds like it. Post some pics, front and back.

Thanks.

 

[MotorsportsX]

not sure if this will work

back

ultra platinum sold at Dodge..

 

[Quattro Pete]

Thanks!

How much are they charging for it?

 

[MotorsportsX]

11.95 a quart... probably pretty high though. I bet you can get it cheaper outside the city.

 

[Quattro Pete]

Crazy price. I'm hoping Amazon will start carrying it soon.

 

[MotorsportsX]

I was paying like 9.50 for ultra... I dont mind paying it. I get my money back in time savings and 12k oci's

 

[Quattro Pete]

My last batch of Ultra was $3/qt. Hopefully some new sales will come around. I've got some time...

 

[MotorsportsX]

I've never paid less than 7 a quart for ultra euro. even back in NC or online. show me any top tier sopus for that price and I'll buy a drum. I use alot. lol

PepBoys has the PP Euro 5w-40 for $19.21 / 5 qts after a $10 MIR.

I believe that sale ends tomorrow. I just grabbed 10 quarts.

Yesterday I ordered a case of PP Euro 5W-40 from Amazon for $51.20 for a six-pack. Free shipping. The oil has Chrysler approval MS 12991 (among many others) which is required for my new Alfa. The price seems reasonable.

did anyone ever do a voa on p4e? I am about to send off a couple sample to Blackstone. I can get a voa if needed

 

[Quattro Pete]

It would be great if you could.

 

[VR6OOM]

P4E = Pennzoil Platinum Euro with Pure Plus?

 

[VR6OOM]

I called Pennzoil to get more info on this oil...was on hold for about 10 minutes. The guy was very nice but was unable to get the TBN, SAPS, NOACK and HTHS information. We know the value ranges due to certifications but I was hoping to get the details to see if it could edge out M1 0w40 on paper.

MSX,
I too would greatly appreciate if you posted your VOA results.
I have just started to use the same oil, "rebadged" as Shell Helix Ultra here and the only VOA I have come across is a few years old now.

Thanks!
