I'm good for 7yrs/75k miles, but if Pennzoil Platinum (5w-30) is still working for me I see no reason to change. From what I've seen posted here and elsewhere its UOA results appear to be very good, API certified, ACEA A5/B5 (5w-20 only A1/B1) rating, cheap pricing...

just added pennzoil platinum (5w-30) to the wife's yaris. happy with the results so far in mine so i thought i'd spoil her's too anyways, found it CHEAP at o'reillys auto parts(3.99/quart)! haven't noticed any difference in fuel economy yet, but it DOES run quieter. at that price - what's not to like?

Yeah that's what I paid ($3.99/qt/3 cases) :)
Glad I made the switch.

A friend of mine used that in his new Mazda 3 for the first oil change. The first time it fired up it was insanely quieter. He's been very happy with it.
