Pennzoil Platinum 0W-20, 4,858 miles, 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0L (4B11)

Pennzoil Platinum appears to be doing well in this engine, as everything looks great for this OCI just as my powertrain warranty is coming to a close. Wear metals in this case are even lower than my previous reports that had fewer miles over a similar six month change interval; presumably because of a higher ratio of short tripping compared to highway miles during those shorter mileage OCIs. My warranty will be over by the next oil change in the spring (60,000 mi), so I'll shoot for that 7,000/8mo OCI and check back in.

Healthy engine. Calcium and Phosphorus looks too low for Platinum.

Both the most recent fill and my 5/20/19 change were with SN+ Platinum while the 12/30/18 was with Mobil 1 AFE. I'll have to look at other user's recent Platinum numbers to compare.
