I'm a big fan of the moly in it, myself!

Pennzoil is highly regarded on this forum and with good reason. Your car will motor along just fine using this for years to come.

OP, is this from a new PDS? I wouldn't trust a VOA from 2013 anymore.

Unless your GDi is a turbo, Ca posses no known ill effects. In [some] small displacement T-GDi applications it has been linked to LSPI.

Member Virtus_Probi also has a wealth of good info on the topic.

The PYB NOACK was low 4 years ago due to the excess GTL base that SOPUS was using in PYB (allegedly), giving it better NOACK numbers than many synthetic oils had. They must have ran out of the extra-but there's still a lot of moly!

PYB is great stuff, unfortunately not quite what it used to be. SOPUS has cut Ca from 2,400 ppm and moly used to average about 250 ppm.

In a 5w20 or 5w30 I am now a big fan of Castrol GTX Ultra Clean. The stuff is just loaded with goodies, Castrol has really upped their game the last couple of years.
