I have Pennzoil Platinum Ultimate right now it seems to be fine. It is the same as the platinum it just has more cleaning additives in it (or so i was told at the auto parts store). Unless you have a lot of miles, I would stick to the PZ Platinum. It has been getting good results and thats what I am going to after about 3000 with the Ultimate.

That is supposed to be step up from the Platinum. I would not discount it so easily. Pennzoil has been in the oil business a long time. The dealers are not going to suggest an oil that would not protect your engine because then they would have a lot of warranties on their hands.

Do some google research on it, you might be surprised.

As long as it has a Dexos certification, you're good.

They gave me a warranty card to fill out. It sounds to good 500, 000 mile warranty for all internal parts
