Changes to Pennzoil Ultra Platinum

I have a hard time listening to this guy, but he’s a tribologist and pretty smart. Sounds like the war has caused some degradation of PUP.

Yep changed the formula and another reason to use another better oil..

You can get the key points of the video by pressing the 'ask' button, then 'summarize the video'. I do that a lot now instead of watching hours of filler in videos to figure out what they are talking about.

@Octanewide Good am Jeff. I’ve always used the Pennzoil in the HC but Mobil 1 in everything else. What do you use in your HC? What about the rest of you guys?

Hey Tony, I use Amsoil or Mobil 1 (I use to work for Exxon/Mobil).
I recently witnessed a tear down of a Ford Ecoboost that needed timing stuff that had over a 100k on the engine whos whole life was on Amsoil and the inside of the engine looked brand new.

I’ve been using PUP. I may switch to M1 ESP or Amsoil. ESP meets Porsche A40, which is about as tough a certification there is. I’d run HPL Supercar if it was a little easier to buy.

I had run amsoil until this year. I put a built shortblock in my car last year and noticed some build up in the oil pan. My friend Tim that runs an 8 second mustang on e85 noticed the build up also using Driven full synthetic oil. Talking with other racers he switched to driven GP-1 last year and when he took the pan off at the end of the season he didn't have the build up, looked new. So this year I'm running the GP-1.

Now if I was not running e85 I would still be using Amsoil 0-40
