Between a buddy of mine and myself, we are trying to organize our oil stocks based on manufacturing dates. We have some jugs and quart bottles of Mobil 1 and Pennzoil Platinum. The Pennzoil Platinum has a date code that precedes the new format. Can anyone show us how to read these things? Searches here and via Google haven't turned up much. Thanks!
 
I have a couple jugs with this code: 4L PV440738 11147/11:59.

I figured the time was just shy of noon, but as for the date, not sure. . . Nov 14, 2007?
 
It is 11/14/07 @ 11:59 AM. The 440738 is the batch number. Check the first part again under a strong light. Should be HLPV (Houston Lube Plant)
 
As are many rock stars. . . Rolling Stones, Metallica, Def Leppard, Ozzi . . . Need I go on?
