Overall I think this report looks fantastic. Further proof that PYB (at least in this application) is a stout oil.

 

[wemay]

PYB is incredible. I'm now convinced, again.

 

[rodinator1234]

That's crazy good. PYB is very impressive in certain applications.

That UOA is perfect!! Glad I have some PYB in my stash :^D

 

[zach1900]

I'm thinking of just going to straight PYD from now on in the Toyota. I don't think it cares what kind of oil I put in it. My Dakota did wonderful on it. I think Bitog is making me ocd.

Pyb

Has there been a uoa of pyb that isn't almost as good as pennzoil platinum?

Keeps the parts separated as well as a nice additive package. VR6 what are your MPGs?

My,what nice moly you have.

 

[KCJeep]

Wow, just wow. With a 405 flash point I can't help but wonder if some GTL is still working it's way into PYB.

But the add pack and performance continues to make it one of the favorites of BITOG anyway.

Hey zach1900, PYD = Pennzoil Yellow Drum. For those who buy in bulk

Crazy good TBN. I wouldn't even expect PP or M1 to be any better after 5k

Could have run it 50% longer easy.

PYB, and most modern conventional oils are excellent.

A lot of Toyota UOAs show 1 ppm iron per 1,000 miles, this one is more.... hmmmmm..... just sayin, hate to rain on the parade here.

Not according to the UA for this engine.

I ran up here because of the title 25,000 miles. I thought it was the OCI. Bummmer...

 

[VR6]

I'm getting about 20.5 mpg in mixed city/highway. I live at high altitude and continue to use the 87 mid-grade vs the 85 regular. I noticed quite a bit more pinging on a couple tankfuls of 85.

Sorry for the confusion! However, 25k on PYB would be a great way to make charcoal briquettes for this summer's grilling needs...
