Anyone ever use Pennzoil Platinum High Mileage. Only ask cause they have 5 quarts for 10 bucks

This is a pretty sensational claim seeing how the Platinum is full synthetic. There is however a non-Platinum high mileage which seems more believable.

I use Penzoil Platinum High Mileage 5W20 in my Ford focuses and 5W30 in my Yukon. It quited down the valve train noise I had in one of the focuses, and seams to had no ill effect on the Yukon. I can't say if that was the Penzoil specifically, or the switch to synthetic.

Who has 5 quarts for $10?

Sorry should of mentioned where the deal is. Walmart has it for 20 bucks for 5 quarts and penzoil has a promo where u get 2 bucks back for each quart of oil so for a 5 quarts is 10 bucks back. I was going to get 3 of them cause of the deal but if the oil is crap then I don't want to buy just cause it's a good deal

Yea I just ordered it online and picking it up tomorrow. Got three 5 quarts for ten bucks a pop. Been doing oil changes at my local shop but with conventional non synthetic oil so one way or the other this is an upgrade

I noticed some oil filters say they last upto 15,000 miles till needing a change like the Mobile 1 filter. Do you guys change the filter every 3000 miles or do you trust the filters and change every 15k?

The Mobil 1 filters are like $8 on rockauto. I change it every time. My OCI is 5000.
