I dislike Pennzoil so - noyt for me. personally after killing ALL my engines to early in the past 5 years with this crap US spec oils, I would only run the real stuff imported from Europe: Total(ELF), Motul, Fuchs, Pentosin, Haven't tried Amsoil yet. May give the ATM blue cap Amsoil a try, Better to give my $$ to the good ole USofA other than the EU.

I would never take automotive advice from someone who shamelessly admits to KILLING all of his cars engines in the past five years...
The man clearly doesn't know how to care for a car or its engine.
