The one you list is perfectly fine. The "mighty 6.2" isn't anything that several top name oils can't handle

Then do a search of oil threads and read all of them. Not much to discuss that hasn't been covered at least a hundred times or more

I'm running Royal Purple 0w20 and a Wix oil filter.

Pennzoil is crap oil, dont care that they try and say "oh but its a new formula". Its still crap.  The additives they use are bottom of the barrel tier, and the oil thats used for the base is bottom tier as well.  

 

My personal go to is mobil 1 extended performance or Castrol edge titanium.   

 

Every vehicle i have used pennzoil in ended up drinking that oil, and caused long term issues as well.  I never understood how a perfectly good engine could drink all 6-8 quarts of oil when i would run pennzoil within the first 1000 miles, but never would have that issue if i ran any other oil.

I'm not so sure if is crap oil, dodge warranty 800 horsepower hellcat FOR 60000 miles and encouraging people to go out on the track to beat the hell out of those cars and recommend to use PENNZOIL ULTRA PLATINUM   oil.

Go use pennzoil and tell me your experience then. My personal experience can only go so far if you choose to ignore what i say. Good luck!

I have used Pennzoil for a long time myself and have never had any issues. I have actually never heard of anyone having issues with it either.

Do you actually check your oil on your dipstick?  Ran pennzoil once, drank almost all of it, dipstick was almost dry, no leaks.  Switched to mobil 1, had zero issues ever again.  Have heard only bad things about pennzoil, never anything good except for on the forums.  Its funny how that works, real life works differently than the internet, hmmmm. 

[pokismoki]

only thing i can add, is... don't use 0-20w 

 

I use the chaepo costco stuff when in a pinch, but prefer the Not so Enviromentally friendly oils with lot's of toxic Moly and Zinc
