20 Best Oil For Your Car (2022 Updated)

Lucas provides one of the best oils for flat tappet engines. Do not put new style oils in old flat tappet engines. The new oils do NOT have the shear pressure protection. Read the white papers on the various types of oils.

If you put modern oils in a flat tappet engine you will get premature wear. The metal contact pressures are much higher in the old engines, like flat tappet, therefore you need the old style oil that provides for higher shear pressure protection.

The stuff that protects the best is not in or at very low levels in the new style oils. Make sure your engine is getting enough molly & sulfur!.

I use this oil in my boat’s two 1977 Crusader (Chevrolet) 350 c. i. engines that have flat tappets. Once a year when I change the oil, I send in oil samples for analysis. The reports show very low wear of iron and bronze, and high levels of beneficial zinc and molybdenum.

I will use this oil as long as I have this boat.

This is the perfect oil to use for older cars without catalytic converters. It’s high in Zinc which older car engines need. I’ve been using this oil for years in my Chevy & Ford engines and they love it.

Plus it makes it easy for me to inventory one brand of oil to use in all my cars! As always Summit Racing is fast to ship your order.

The 0W-20 oil I use in both a naturally aspirated four cylinder and a turbocharged four cylinder engines. The manufacturer recommends the 0W-20 synthetic motor oil. At over 120,000 miles, the naturally aspirated four cylinder engine burns NO oil and remains at above the “add” mark for over 7,500 miles.

The turbo four has less than 50,000 miles and does not burn oil. the average MPG is above the manuracturer’s claim. cannot recommend highly enough,.

I’ve been using Mobil 1 0W-20 AFE oil in my 2016 Honda Accord, direct injected 2. 4L since 6200 miles. First oil change after engine break in, OE oil came out and Mobil 1 AFE 0W-20 went in. After 6000 miles of service using Mobil 1 AFE, the oil level dropped about a quarter of a quart as expected.

The OE oil evaporated over 6,000 miles as well and is normal for anyone concerned. I check the oil at every fill up at the gas station and keep the oil in the trunk. I live in a dry, very hot, dusty climate and a lot of stop & go traffic.

Under my current environmental conditions, it doesn’t make sense to purchase a higher end Mobil oil and risk leaving the oil in for a year or when the oil life monitor says to change the oil. 5 to 6 thousand miles or every 6 months between oil changes in Phoenix is cheap insurance.

I change it for peace of mind and ensure proper care of my engine. This oil has excellent flow at low temperatures and when you start your car after sitting overnight. Engine is very quiet and smooth when first started.

Quick flow is what prevents wear during starts and Mobil has it figured out with this oil. MRV viscosity @ -40 degrees Celcious for this oil is 9200, never seen a spec like that. Most other brands usually only list specs down to -35.

A lot starts happening that is important at these extreme low temperatures and there is a big difference in oil performance between -35 and -40 celcious. Hard to beat the specs of Mobil 1 AFE. Great product, readily available, competitively priced and just as good if not better in my opinion over OE oil.

Mobil 1 always seems to perform with high end products, highly recommend!.

I’ve honestly used a number of different oil brands in my F250 now; there’s really only a few brands that can go the distance with my twin turbocharged F250 Super Duty! All the others seem to break down and lose their viscosity rather quickly! Castor is my go-to for my trucks oil every time to keep that motor protected and allow it to run at the highest peak it can possibly run on at all times! Of course the only place that never lets me down in knowing that what I need for my truck, including the motor oil when it’s calling for it! Is Oreilly’s every time! Hands down no doubt about it!!.

2013 Malibu eco 60,000 miles. Because of the known issue with the weak piston rings and severe blow by on the 2. 4L engines, I was adding about 2. 5 quarts of oil in 5000 miles. Check oil every 500 miles.

Switched to mobile 1 full synthetic at about 35000 miles. Nothing changed. Changed to Pennzoil at 45000 miles. Used about a quart and a half in 5000 miles. Changed to Castrol edge titanium full synthetic at 55000.

Always Used same weight. 5w30. It has used less than a quart in 5000 miles and although it’s hard to measure by eye it does look like less blow by from port on valve cover when hot at idle. Looks like this is the new oil for the Malibu from here on out.

My comments is not on the product BUT the delivery. There was a leak in one of the plastic container. You can see the stain on the brown box before opening. They must know because they place plastic liner to contain the leak; also the invoice, oil stained, in the box has somebody’s name and different price.

Since there was still good amount oil left I choose not to return. Too messy. Took pictures of the stained box. Should have replaced the leaking container.

I’ve got a ’91 Nissan Pathfinder with 305,000 miles on it and this is what I use. She’s still running the same as ever, so this stuff seems okay to me! Also, this oil was recommended to me by a mechanic that I truly trust (I know everyone says this), but he had nothing to gain being retired and living 4 states away from me.

I also use it in my BMW with 235,000 miles.

A friend of mine told me about Red Line oil and was not sure about purchasing it due to cost. I am very happy that I purchased the Red Line oil and used it for our 2010 Ford Fusion, 2004 Lexus LS430, 1950 Oldsmobile 88 Rocket and 2020 Toyota Tundra.

The 2010 Ford Fusion was running good, and once I put Red Line oil in it the engine could not be happier! Never going back to any other oil. I am sold. Jeff.

This is a really top quality oil. I changed to Redline 5w30 in my brand new camaro at 1600km. Wasn’t really expecting too much difference from the factory original Mobil 1 oil but immediately after the change, the engne was noticeable smoother and quieter.

A ticking sound at idle just completely dissappeared! It climbs the rev range so smoothly. This is an expensive oil, but if you love your car and want it to last, its hard to go past this oil. I will keep using this oil at my next oil change.

There are a lot of excellent engine oils available to the consumer market place. However not all oils labeled as synthetic are actually true synthetics. When we buy a synthetic oil to protect our expensive engines, we want a true synthetic for all the right reasons.

Red Line is exactly that, a true synthetic lubricant. It is the only oil that will be used in my 2007 C6 ZO6 Corvette with the LS7 engine. I can’t give a higher rating or recommendation than that. Worth every penny paid.

TraduireAfficher dans la langue originaleI had ordered the oil change kit from FCP Euro after other parts I had purchased came lightning quick, the order was correct, and arrived undamaged which, is a big deal when purchasing anything let alone auto parts.

They had the best price on Liqui Moly oil! I couldn’t even assemble the kit cheaper if I wanted to. Others may have Liqi Moly kits but they use a cheap filter. I was impressed that I ordered the oil change kit around 11:00 am and Fed Ex arrived the next day with my parts.

I will continue to use FCP for may parts purchases when possible. FCP Euro has made a fan out of me!.

TraduireAfficher dans la langue originaleOrder received on time, excellent. Oil used for my 2012 BMW X5 Turbo Diesel and is BMW LL04 approved. Has fantastic flow properties and is made in Germany. No complaints.

TraduireAfficher dans la langue originaleI purchased my VW Golf MK6 TDI at 19k miles not long ago. I had it for less than one. Change the oil at 25k miles with Liqui Moly. I noticed the difference when I turned the car on, and also when you start to get going.

The car ran quieter and way smoother with Liqui Moly. My car has a DPF so with this oil the filter will last long as well. When I purchased the car, it was running on castrol, but didn’t what type/formula the dealer put in.

Great oil. would buy again.

Box of 12 arrived in a few days for my Shelby oil change. Exactly what I ordered, priced very well.

Best oil for your performance Ford. This is the only true Ford Spec oil for Boss 302

I use this in my K20 because of the high ZDDP and moly content. During super high RPM’s/high engine loads the ZDDP and moly help protect your cam lobes better than other oils with lower ZDDP and moly.

RedLine is also known for putting anti-foam additives in their oils that almost everyone else doesn’t do. The anti-foam agents help keep the oil like oil, which is extremely imporatnt for lubricity. Oil analysis also shows that this oil has a very stout total base number and also a very good detergent and dispersant package.

I highly recommend!.

So, I have used this oil since 2004 or so in the same car when it was 140WHP stock to the 300WHP turbo it is now. Once the car was built up and restomodded the shop recommended I switch to Montul. However, I know Acura ran this in there real time race cars and I have never had an issue with it so I stuck with it.

Its difficult to review the performance of the oil in my street driven weekend driver application. I have no analytical data on the performance of my integra on a dyno vs other oils, No I didn’t notice any difference running the motul the first few thousand miles before I switch back to Redline.

It’s synthetic, esters based, and has a reliable history. Even though I am a Naval Engineer by profession I admit when it comes to my cars I am superficial and sentimental. So, yes this is useless review but I like the oil for my Integra, it ships quick from Summit.

Not sure what value this is if your wondering if it’s good oil besides when I am hitting 8700 RPM in the integra nothing has blown up yet.

So I decided to try a new fish recipe. I stopped in and picked me up some oil. I thought the price was decent. Once I got home and started cooking, I got a little concerned. The recipe said I should cook the fish until it is golden brown, and then flip.

I couldn’t tell if the fish was golden brown, or if it was just the color of the oil. Once I felt it was cooked, I pulled it from the pan. The fish did not turn out to be very tasty, I’m thinking it was bad.

But am appreciative of how easily it seemed to slide out the other end. No troubles there.

If you’ve got an old Jeep, especially one with a 4. 7 HO, this is the best oil for it. Those engines tend to sludge up and this tends to fight it. Just don’t push it all the way to the 5000 mile mark between changes.

180K and still going strong!.

IšverstiShow in original languageFirst Id like to mention Project Farm on YouTube, who does small in home tests using coffee pots, freezers, and a spinning lube test. These tests prove instant results for the small amounts of stress theyre put through.

The tests dont prove the longevity and cleaning aspects of engine oilsMy review:I went on this quest on YouTube and forums online to find the best synthetic 5W30 for my Tacoma. I checked out Home Deliveries USA Basics and Shell Rotella as well as this Mobil 1 and Supertech.

All are great oils, I found that the Shell oil had slightly miniscule more harmful metals than Mobil 1 but less than Home Deliveries USA oil. I also learned these companies will take out or add different things to have the SN plus badge which may take away from the longevity of the lubricating or cleaning qualities.

Home Deliveries USA doesnt have a write up for their oil like most other companies including Wal-Mart which is supposed to be the same Warren oil. For that simple fact I took it out of my choices. Home Deliveries USA and Wal-Mart are known to find the cheaper oils to resell and may end up changing in the future from Warren.

Mobil 1 is a trusted name and has all the requirements of a synthetic oil anyone should need. I have not experienced burning or loss of oil in either of my vehicles, one of which has 270,000 miles on it.

I dont run my oil 10 or 20,000 miles or whatever people are doing lately. I change my oil between 3 and 5000 miles which I know for certain is good and healthy maintenance to keep my engine running clean and strong.

I recommend that for everyone regardless of what these companies are claiming. I trust myself and my maintenance schedule. None of these companies are going to replace my engine if what they are claiming is false.

Mobil 1 is the oil Toyota uses from the factory and this along with my small research is enough for me.

IšverstiShow in original language1998 Tacoma, I used to drive this truck for 250miles/day, Using Castrol-GTX/3000miles. Soon as it reached 1500miles, gpm went from 20 to 17. I tried every things that people recommended on the internet to improve gpm.

sparkplug changed every 25k-30kmiles(do not use Bosh Platinum, just OEM Nippon Denso plug). Nothing worked. Soon as I switched over to Mobil1 Sync with OEM oil filter. My truck drove better, smoother, quieter and gpm remain @20gpm until the next oil changed which is 10Kmiles.

You can see the Viscosity of the oil remain the same, just darker. So I switched all my whole family vehicles(5 Toyotas, sedan-truck-van-SUV) to used this type of oil since 2000. Since I maintenance all vehicles myself, this 10kmiles oil change save me a lots of times and $$$$.

Let me tell you an impressive story about this oil. I gave my son the truck for his college years, in 4year. When the truck did not run(because of the MAF sensor clogged), he called me to come checked the truck, there was no oil on the dipstick.

DRIED!!!! Soon as I cleaned the MAF, I cranked the engine, it started right away. there is no issue with the engine. I still driving it now. over 200kmiles/24yrs still running like new. why buy new vehicles since mine run and looks like new plus paid off.

Mobil 1 Full Synthetic 5W20 until 75,000 miles then Mobil 1 Full Synthetic 5W30. My wife’s 2016 KIA SOUL would crank and run with no issues right up until someone hit her from behind on the Interstate and totaled her car.

She was going about 55 mph and they were going at least 80 to 100 mph. The care was folded under, but the engine was running like normal while the Highway Patrol had to pry her out of the car and the Tow Truck guy had to open the hood and disable it to get the engine to stop running.

My wife suffered no injuries. We went and purchased a new KIA SPORTAGE and are using Mobil 1 Full Synthetic Oil in it. Who ever buys that car for the engine is getting a solid KIA SOUL engine. At 200,000 miles we started using Mobil 1 Full Synthetic 20,000 mile oil.

That Soul would crank and start like a new car. We have a 2001 Ford F-250 V-10 Triton Crew Cab and 2002 Ford F-250 5. 4L Crew Cab 4X4 and they both are above 200,000 miles and we run Mobil 1 Full Synthetic 20,000 mile oil in them.

Have to watch out for Walmart pricing, in the title it clearly says 1 Quart (Case of 6) but you are really actually only getting 1 quart. I know others who have gotten the case size but others including myself did not.

I chatted with support they said it was a mistake on their website and only offered a partial refund. The 5 quart container is a much better deal anyways and if I had known that I was only receiving 6 quarts I wouldn’t have even placed this order.

I don’t even really use Mobil 1 anymore because all of the other competition has caught up and are usually cheaper options. Mobil 1 is still an excellent oil but it’s pricey when compared to the others that can do the same for less.

Walmart support is so spotty with who you chat with, some have resolved the issue by having the remaining quarts shipped out but then others like myself are only offered a refund.

been using this oil for years in my classic vehicles, works well, no sludge when changing or removing valve covers, easy to pour, sometimes requires a funnel depending on the entrance area of the vehicle, especially if pouring through the rocker/valve covers if they do not have a large hole as the cap and neck on the bottle is larger than many of the older oil quart bottles.

The packaging is an attractive grey colour, easy on the eyes and easy to locate in the store. Package is great size for storing on the shelf in a workshop, actually can place many next to each other as the shape is rectangular, not round which wastes space regarding packaging and storage.

I believe the oil actually likes and prefers to be allowed to flow between the space between the bearings and crankshaft, which is quite a smell space , but it is not opposed to flow around the pistons and between the camshaft and lifters, and also inside the lifters up to the rockers.

Very smart oil, I have had some that were not pleased to lubricate as many areas and had to replace them. This oils does flow well thru the hole in the bottom pan after removing the drain plug, even though it really doesn’t want to exit the engine, it would prefer to continue working.

I have also placed this oil in a squirt can to oil other mechanical entities, and of course it is quite happy to assist in areas other than just engines, like linkages, hinges, etc. I find this oil is also compatible with oil filters, flowing through easily, not leaking out, but that would really be the function of the filter, sticking well but easily traveling through the filter pleats.

One major issue is the mess that occurs if the can is knocked over with the cap off.

If you change your own oil and want a good brand name oil like Mobil. This is the oil for you. The oil is rated for 5000 miles and the container is five quarts. I like to change my own oil in all my vehicles I own The oil lubricates the internal parts to your vehicle for up to 5000 miles and when I replace the oil after 4000 miles of wear and tear The oil looks and feels like you can leave it in the vehicle another 1,000 miles I change the oil and oil filter every 4,000 miles and my vehicles last for years, don’t smoke or burn any oil.

Use a good quality oil like Mobil products and you will have a reliable oil in your motor while you are driving.

Wal-Mart warehouse via internet sales still carried this hard to find item still – I’m sure when the warehouse is empty Wal-Mart won’t offer it either, they along with other stores have dropped it off the store shelves.

So thank you Wal-Mart for having such a big Warehouse and a great staff from internet to the guys that use muscles in getting the product to the door step in record time. My Son can still drive his American made great old truck for a while longer knowing Wal-Mart could cover the engine needs for a little while longer before the oil industry has everyone using Synthetic oils in your older conventional oil engines and find out that it will make your seals and inlets plug.

up.

This stuff nearly ruined my engine. Way to thick. Like honey. Car could hardly turn over when cold. Had to take it out. Complete waste of money.

This new smokeless oil has help me drive without a ticket from the police. It also helps allow to park close to the business. As before when the truck was started, it smoked bad, so bad people look at me and shake their heads.

NO MORE!!!!!! Thank you for saving me and my truck.

You don’t expect a product in a bottle like this to fix a bad engine, but a good engine that smokes a little bit should actually smoke at least a little bit less after adding this product. My engine smokes just as much as it did before.

Oh well, it was worth a try.

This is Castrol’s premium oil for hard working engines in stop ‘n’go traffic. Like Magnatec, Castrol claim it has a titanium-added composition improves wear under extreme temperatures and pressures in the engine.

This is also supposed to be good for anti-sludging. has chemical additive cleaners. So. the logic is that you add it, use it drain it. Add it use it drain it with a top quality filter change each time.

Can’t hurt to change the filter more ofter as well, just to extra clean the oil. Castrol is a good brand used for high performance motoring in many applications in Europe, where emissions and regukatin s on petro-chemical products are stringent.

See: https://www. castrol. com/en_us/united-states/home/motor-oil-and-fluids/engine-oils/motor-engine-oil-brands/castrol-edge-brand/castrol-edge. html.

As everyone not living under a rock knows at present the “go to” oils for these engines are not obtainable due to supply chain problems. This *specific* formula is a suitable replacement for ALH-engine VW diesels; it has the required “C” rating, is 505.

00 rated AND is a 5w40 full-synthetic. While its a bit more money than the long-term go-to T6 I’ve used for 300,000 miles its a viable alternative that meets the specs. Note that the “PD” and later engines *cannot* use a 505.

00 without unacceptable cam wear, so if you have one of those you’re stuck with harder-to-find and more-expensive options (e. g. Motul, etc. ).

The number one thing about the product was it’s availability. I searched high and low locally, and couldn’t find the 5 quart container. Although my vehicle takes just a little over 6 quarts, finding one quart bottles wasn’t a problem.

Secondly, the price was right, and it was delivered on time. Nothing but good things to say, was my experience.

IšverstiShow in original languageI have used MOBIL 1 SYNTHETIC in all my Porsches (street and track) since the 80’s, but that is another story. This story is about a lawn mower which I bought new and ran “wide open” as a residential “bush hog” for 32 years.

I changed the oil every spring with MOBIL 1 SYNTHETIC and noticed each year the oil while dirty (because of the atrocious operating environment) the engine used no oil and performed flawlessly. I became fascinated at about 20 years when I realized this lawnmower was falling apart in every way, wheels, carb, housing sheet metal, studs and bolts backing out of the engine, it was a complete wreck EXCEPT: it burned no oil and suffered no mechanical failures after running for decades and thousands of hours wide open (wished I had a HOBBS).

To say the least, I loved this mower, my friends and neighbors howled at my eccentricity, but I paid them no mind, I know and understand true devotion, PLUS I had an ongoing SCIENCE PROJECT which I was going to push (literally and figuratively) to its conclusion.

At 30 years the mower deck was “fully ventilated” and was probably dangerous, it needed its third set of wheels and the whole affair was just simply “string and bailing wire”. None the less, I was not giving up on “The Red Devil”.

I had owned this mower half my life and I was beginning to wonder who was going to be the last one running. I had hoped to open the engine one day and examine the wear index. However, at 32 years my better half insisted that “The Red Devil” had to go.

I presented it to a young ARMY vet (who had admired it from afar) with the understanding that he would only use MOBIL-1 SYN and contact me IF the engine ever needed to be taken down as I wished to see the mysteries within.

In great solemnity he assured me he would honor the terms and nervously loaded The Red Devil it into his truck. I take great comfort in knowing that if there is a heaven for lawn mower engines, “The red devil” is holding court! I concluded years ago that The Red Devil’s longevity was 100% due to MOBIL-1 SYNTHETIC.

To this day, I can not hear a mower run without harking back to all the good times with The Red Devil. In spite of all my pleas, my attorneys say I do not have a case against MOBIL and have suggested therapy.

IšverstiShow in original languageI always use Mobile 1 10,000 mile oil. I use it on the lawn equipment, wood chipper,and snowblower too. For my car its lasts about 8,000 before I change it. When I change it it is very dirty so maybe I shod do it sooner but I wait for 8000.

On the pickup, milage is low so I leave the oil for 1 year all the time. Done this on 4 cars over the past 20 years wirh no problems.

IšverstiShow in original languagewe run a fleet of both gas and diesel and for as long as i can remember weve been gettin drums of regular mobil 1 10w40 and it hasnt let us down yet. we havent had a failure yet that could b attributed to the oil n the engines idle for a week and a half sometimes.

thats saying something. i also use mobil 1 in all my personal trucks, small engines, bikes everything! it hasnt let me down yet in fact when u tear somethin down after running mobil 1 its amazing how little wear there is ,metal against metal should just eat itself alive.

n not only does it not do that but u cant even tell they were mating surfaces half the time. the only thing i like more than mobil 1 oil is lucas oil stabilizer, that stuffs almost cheating its also a whole different class tho so no disrespect to mobil.

Started using Mobile 1 in a new 2005 CRV at the first oil change. Changed the oil and filter ever year. Sometimes with 8K on the oil. Sometimes 12K. I did the 100K plug change and checked the valve lash.

The plugs could probably last 200K. What was very impressive was the valve lash was within 0. 001 of being in tolerance. The cam chain guides had no wear and timing chain marks were dead on. The inside of the valve cover was clean and looked new other then some slight yellow heat stains.

Beyond belief. Been doing all my own work since the 60s. I know what is impressive.

Mobil 1 Oils are the best investment one can make in protecting & minimizing engine wear. I have seen fleets of vehicles with over 250-300 thousand miles on them engines in tack experiencing minimal wear with extremely low incidents of engine performance failures.

Mobil 1. Oils & Mobil 1 Filters are the best American Made Products than truly give you “a bang for your Buck”! Made in USA Products made with Top Engineering Methods & Pride.

I decided to try Mobil 1 Truck/SUV 5W-30 despite when it originally came out, it wasn’t Dexos certified. This Full-Synthetic is definitely more robust then the regular Mobil 1 5W-30 My truck feels like it accelerates faster, smoother, and my fuel mileage has improved sightly.

I highly recommend spending the few extra dollars on the Mobil 1 5W30 Truck/SUV Full Synthetic oil!.

I am not exactly sure how many miles I put on, but i do drive a great deal. I am in the healthcare field in a very rural environment. I need my car to run well and I do not have time for frequent oil changes.

Does this oil last for 25,000 miles or one year? I should be more attentive and be able to give a more definite answer, but I will say that with the driving I put on my car (2009 Suzuki SX4) in all kinds of weather, where things are often between 1 and 3 hours between points A and B, the oil lasts a good 9 months before it even begins to break down.

I meant to change the oil about a month ago (11 months between changes), but we got hit with major wildfires that put a real damper on all activities. The car is still running great, and the oil will get done this week.

This oil i definitely worth a try. I suggest giving it a shot, monitoring your oil and seeing how this performs in your conditions, wherever you are, and do better than me by minding your mileage. Then you have a good idea if it is worth the investment.

The Signature Series grade has worked for me, especially when the Amzoil filter is available (Amzoil was out of stock his time around on the filter).

I started using amsoil products in my Yamaha yz250 2 stroke after I seen a guy put straight gas into his bike. He ran it hard in a qualifying race only to realize what he had done. He tore the top end apart only to see no metal chips to scaring or burning.

In fact it run well. All this was no doubt to him usually running synthetic Detonator at a 40:1 ratio, etc. So, I was hooked as others who have made that mistake ended up up damaging something. I have used them exclusively in all my bikes, vehicles and truck.

It’s more expensive than others but you do get what you pay for. The Signature Series is the Amsoil Flagship and I use it in my Hyundai Elantra GT Sport turbo, and my Ram 1500 5. 7liter. ii use the OE in my wife’s old 1999 mustang with its 3.

8liter. I highly recommend anyone to use the Signature Series if you live your vehicle and want the best possible oil running in it!? Try, it and you won’t be disappointed, cheers!.

Love this oil,got this for my expedition. Swear it feels a bit smoother running this. and gas milage mite have got a hair better. Used to run royal purple. I realy enjoy this now. Confident this will keep me going worry free and with the oil filter from amsoil I can not be as picky on how fast I need to change.

Still do around 5k or so takes me 6 months to get that many miles but I go when its convianant,rather then range exiety. I could do 7 if I wanted. I just do december and july changes by habbit. All the test online show this one holds up better then great in lab.

If you can spare extra few bucks,go with this,Reason its sold out frequantly. ok because extra range in betwen changes will give ya time to get that backordered shipment. Glide on down those highways,stay comfortable.

I ve been a Castrol user since I could first find it. I used to be very involved in Italian Auto journalism. I remember wondering about Castrol since its name was everywhere in European racing and motorsports.

However, I was disappointed that I couldn’t find any here. When it first showed up state side, I used it at every oil change with great success in all my autos. Being young and into European auto racing I drove all of my vehicles ridiculously hard and at high rpms.

I am happy to say I have never had a single car go down do to engine failure or wear. All my cars were driven that way to at least 200K miles. The advantage: Castrol and 3000 mile oil changes. When the synthetic came out I was on-board.

The first thing I noticed was the engine ran 10 degrees cooler. Better lubrication even at the highest RPMS. You can take a synthetic multi-grade oil to higher mileage between changes; say 7,000 miles.

HOWEVER, You should change the oil filter once between and with each oil changes. Lets say 7000 miles between oil and filter and oil filter every 3,500 miles. Synthetic oil doesn’t break down as fast as conventional but microscopic fragments of metal and combustion blow-by still get into the oil where the filter must remove them.

I have taken a Toyota Camry to 300K on that system and that Camry is still going strong *. 0-40w synthetic is the top of the game in the states (even if your car manufacturer calls for 5-30w) and in my opinion with over a million miles of driving – Castrol is the Best.

I only wish they would start carrying the Castrol 5-50w synthetic (theoretically better still) like most volume outlets did prior to 2014. * One word of caution. Talk your the dealer before switching from a conventional oil to any synthetic in a car older than 13 years old with high mileage.

It could start small oil leaks past older high mileage engine gaskets because it is so slippery.

I have used Pennzoil on and off most of my life. Was always my go to 30W lawn mower oil but after buying a Dodge Hellcat that uses the super premium Pennzoil synthetic I have become more and more of a fan.

I recently purchased a used 08 Police Crown Vic with 140K miles. Was fleet serviced every 4-5K with records and the engine inside is still very clean, I don not know what oil was used prior to my purchase but it was changed as per spec.

I had a dealer do my first oil change with recommended weight Synthetic blend Ford brand oil 5-20. Now 3K miles later I change to this tried and true Pennzoil conventional 5-20 oil and I notice the normal start up top end rattle noise is gone to almost gone.

Strange, to actually hear a difference in a engine based on brand of oil surprised me after 40+ years of changing my oil especially moving from a blend to full conventional oil on a high mile engine.

I remember my late father telling me back in the early 70’s to always use a good Pennsylvania grade motor oil. Father recommended, Dad approved!.

This is a great oil that I went back to since todays synthetics make most engines tick like crazy. Also was using a full synthetic on a newer engine with only 15,000 miles on it that had to have the tranny pulled due to a bad leaking rear main seal.

Hopefully Pennzoil will stop the leak with the new main seal ? Lost faith somewhat on other synthetics. Oh, and I need to correct some of the old timers on here. Pennzoil is NOT Pennsylvania Crude. They are located in Texas.

Where have you old timers been ? In a cave ?.

My father ran the Pennzoil 50w Racing Oil in his front engine dragster when I was a kid. We never had any oil related failures running methanol in Crower injected big block Chevrolet engines. I miss the Pennzoil win lights that were at the Medford Oregon drag strip.

My grandfather his 1976 GMC pickup that is still in the family always has had Pennzoil 10w-30 or straight 30W. Last time I changed the oil the milage was 350k it ran great just burned a little oil through the valve giudes.

Original 350 small block engine never rebuilt all stock. Under the valve covers no sludge clean as a whistle last time I adjusted the valves. The oil on the 1976 GMC has been religiously changed every 3000 miles or every 3 months whatever comes first.

My favorite and the best oil in the world is the 25W-50 GT. The Racing oil has been my choice in Chevrolet in straight six cylinder and V8 engines winter or summer it protects. I run 25W-50 in the engine of my 2000 Harley Davidson twin cam and in the engine of my 2007 883 Sportster.

I change oil every 2500 to 3000 miles in the bikes it comes out a dark carmel color not dark black like the competition oils. The horrible 10% ethanol gasoline does not seem to be a problem with this oil.

I have never seen sludge or yellow gunk from moisture in my oil tank on either Harley when I service one. Also the Harleys and they are my main source of transportation I do not own a car or pickup anymore.

Bot b bikes get rode in rain, snow, or all weather. I use Pennzoil Type F automatic transmission fluid in the primary of both motorcycles with no problems no sludge and they shift perfectly with a nice clutch engagement.

I like this oil because it is pretty cool to be 36 years old and changing my oil using the same oil my dad did with him handing me tools for changing oil that he bought long before I was born. I remember handing him cardboard cans off a cardboard flat in the shop and at the track.

I just wish that Pennzoil was more available in my area. Unfortunately it’s not available like it was. It’s a nightmare to get it ordered, I can’t get it shipped affordably, nobody knows 25W-50 in Shell product Distribution centers, Nobody knows anything about it at parts stores, and I am tired of having to explain part numbers and prove that yes this stuff exists.

Very expensive to have to ride 80 miles for a case of 25w-50. I never see promotions or advertisements and no literature for the 25w-50 at places where I should find it. So if you are a person who is lucky to find this oil try it.

It is the best in Harley Davidson engines, anything performance or heavy duty. Bring back the 30W, 40W, 50W Racing Oils please I cannot be the only person who wants them. What happened to the Pennzoil banner flags at stores and race tracks? Oh yes If anyone is currently running Valvoline racing oil give this 25w-50 a try.

Look at the independent lab testing from Blackstone on other websites and read the numbers this oil is the best. I have had it tested myself running it in Harley Davidson Engines listed above and the test results made me happy.

Please make it easier to find in Oregon and make it to where it can be ordered. I like to use a product that I can trust because I have used it a very long time. Pretty disappointing when my father said he has no time to search for oil and uses your competitors oil because he can’t find it like he used too.

Be cool to change oil again with my dad using Pennzoil. Kinda sad for me to look at my dad a man in his 60s who was a loyal customer. He used nothing but your products so did his father. Yet sadly he had to change to one of your competitors because he doesn’t have the time to scout around looking for the products you sell he is a busy man.

Pennzoil you need to step up and get back your customers because this one typing this annoyingly long poorly written review has been pretty frustrated. How about you send my father a few cases of oil so we can have a box of empty yellow bottles ? Or those hideous new giant bottles ? Can anyone else remember the paper cans or the tin cans because I can remember tossing both into the trash when empty.

Any dads out there change oil with your kids or is that a thing of the past ? Make your products more available at parts houses like NAPA and O’Reilly. Make it so Costco can order it. Because I shouldn’t have to go to Walmart for your products and then they cannot order or find what I want.

Get it together Pennzoil get back in the winners circle.
