Hey everyone,
I've been reading some of the threads on here regarding this oil and others in the Pennzoil line, but still have some questions regarding the stuff. I know very little about Pennzoil products in particular as I've never used the stuff, but I have been contemplating using PUP in my 2017 Hyundai Elantra.
If I've read everything right, the PUP used to be Pennzoil Ultra (blackish bottle) and then switched to Pennzoil Ultra Platinum recently (right about the time Pennzoil switched to all yellow bottles). Has anyone found any difference between the two products? I know Pennzoil Ultra was highly regarded and recommended, but I haven't heard much about this new formulation other than the NOACK increased dramatically (from about 5-6% to 11.5%). I don't know much about NOACK and why it matters as I'm still new this stuff, but do we expect the PUP stuff to be as good as the original Ultra?
I'm guessing Pennzoil is marketing their Ultra Platinum as a step above their Platinum line, but does anyone know what the Ultra Platinum is supposed to do that the Platinum doesn't? They are both PurePlus, however they don't advertise the 25% cleaning on the Platinum which I guess is the main difference?
Also, there doesn't seem to be a ton of PUP out there. None of my local haunts have them (AAP, O'R and WallyWorld) although they have plenty of the Platinum and it seems that the only place I can get it is Amazon. Is this because of the pending DEXOS 2 conversion or is this just because it's a newer product?
Sorry for all the questions!
