Has anybody seen the new Pennzoil commercial? I think every car they specify on is a MOPAR :headbang:. I think the future oil in my mopars is going to be Pennzoil :blob:
I know Pennzoil has a good name but I believe its paraffin base oil. I work in the oilfield and deal with that stuff all day. Really nasty stuff but I might be wrong. I hear the Pennzoil gunks up really bad because of it. But igright be wrong. IMO.
i used to use only pennzoil back when i first started driving and working on my own car - until i saw how badly it gunked up somebody elses engine that we were tearing down.
i've only used valvoline since then and never had a problem.

Havoline is another with far too much paraffin in it. The stuff sets up like black candle wax all over everything in any area where it is allowed to cool a little ( especially under the rocker cover ). This is why every mfgr went to hotter thermostats and hotter engine operating temps.
Pennzoil is probably the leader in recycling oil.
Good for the environment ? Sure.
Good for their profit margin ? I have to assume it is.
Good for older engines ? Who knows. I don't want to find out the hard way that it's not.
You are not wrong.
I have seen crap a half inch thick in engines.
Hate that crap, and only use it for killing ants.
