Hi Virtus_Probi, it can be found here...

Hey wemay, hope you and yours are doing great!
Thanks for the link...if I go through the Pennzoil website, I still see the 2011 version. I guess I see similar issues with XOM Gen 2 oils not having their PDS links properly updated, even though the new info is there if you search hard enough.

All is fantastic my friend! I hope the same for you and yours.
Our first born came into the world on Nov 28th. So we are over the moon....and sleepy. Lol

Great news! I am very happy for you and your family.
My life was totally different after we had our daughter, but the change was for the better. She just started college this fall.
Catch some sleep whenever you can!

Best advise. Lol, thanks.

Yes looks like over 95% of the people could us 5w-30 and their motor would never know!

Congratulations on the new baby. That’s great news indeed.

QSUD 5W30 PDS at the epc online repository still does not reflect the d1G2 product!
I'm very curious to see how this one compares to Pennzoil Gold and PPPP 5W30.

 

[Ram02]

PP 5w30 D1G2 flash point is kinda low compared to the rest

 

[Garak]

Watch the flash point test method. That can create some confusion.

 

[wemay]

D92 vs D93, yes.

Learning about this on here was an eye opener for me, XOM uses D92 and makes it hard to compare them to SOPUS, for example...I guess that 254C flashpoint for M1 5W30 ESP is not quite as impressive as I had thought. I'm sure the difference for D92 vs. D93 depends somewhat upon what is being tested and have seen guesses at deltas between 3 and 20C online.

 

[Garak]

Some companies use one for HDEOs and one for PCMOs, which skews things, too. Last time I checked, Shell branded lubricants were using one, Pennzoil the other.

I know it's an old thread, but the wife's 2018 Santa Fe SE just received it's first oil change at the Hyundai dealer. Pennzoil Gold 5w30 is what the Hyundai dealer is using for oil change services. Never used Pennzoil before but the Pennzoil gold spec seems pretty good for a syn blend.

A few of us here thought the numbers that SOPUS shared online looked really good for a syn blend!

 

[wemay]

I agree. Pennzoil Gold is good stuff. The current TDS (posted in this thread bare that out). I'd be satisfied with that in my sump.

I'm going to bump this thread again because I'm hoping one of the Pennzoil/Shell folks might see this. Where is the Pennzoil Gold? I've looked at two Walmarts nearby, Autozone, and O'reilly and it's not on the shelves of any of them. It's also not available in 5 quart jugs on Amazon either, fwiw. I'm used to not being able to find the Ultra Platinum, but it's weird that I can't find this at any store nearby.

 

[PimTac]

I don't recall seeing it at Walmart last time checked the shelves.

 

[dave1251]

If your not finding it. It means its not selling well enough to be placed on shelves.
