The best oil

Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2024

This is the best synthetic oil in my opinion. It’s the only oil made from natural gas instead of crude oil. I get a lot of miles between oil changes and the oil looks good even when it’s time to change it . And Amazon sells it at a great price, I wouldn’t buy it anywhere else !

Bottles broken during shipment

Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2024

I'm sure this is great oil. I ordered 3-5qt containers. They arrived reboxed and in a plastic bag. One container had lost 2qts. I can only imagine the mess this made. Anyway, I have reached out to Pennzoil to get a 2qt replacement. I will update. 5-3-2024 update. Amazon customer service contacted me. The gentleman was nice and understood my issue. He immediately sent a new jug of oil at no charge to me. It arrived in perfect condition. If you contact Pennzoil, they wont answer. Go to amazon customer service. I will give this a 5star. Shipping oil is always going to be a mess.

One of the best motor oils ever made Ultra Platinum

Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2024

So I like to drive my cars forever and one thing that I have noticed over the years and I do most all the work on them myself is that it isn't usually the engine wear that wipes out the car it's the dirt in the engine. Small things like the PVC valve reburn into the cylinder that fouls them. If you look it up you will see that Ultra Platinum is the cleanest of all motor oils in your engine. I will now rank this as perhaps the cleanest as Valvoline Protect and Restore is make some enormous claims now about engine cleanliness in their oil.

That said Ultra Platinum was at one time the king of motor oils for keeping your engine clean. Pennzoil use to have some statistics on the cost saving from using Ultra Platinum based on the decrease in friction that the pistons experience and how much you would save is gas mileage. A small amount but enough to pay the Ultra Platinum over other motor oils through out the oil change. Somewhere this seems to have gotten lost in the discussion of motor oil.

Good stuff!

Good oil. Tried it for the first time. I've used Mobil 1 for years. This stuff is made from natural gas and boasts that it is unsurpassed for engine lubrication, so figured I'd give it a try. I can say that my vehicle seemed to run smoother with more power right off the bat. I've never noticed that in the past with Mobil 1. It's supposed to clean the engine very well too. I'm going to pull the oil filter after a couple weeks of city driving and see how it looks.. Update on the way.

Check out the detergents for this oil - you'll never use another oil again

This really is the best oil you can buy in 0W-20 for the money. Check BITOG or Project Farm, etc. and you'll find that Ultra Platinum is the best oil for the money. My Mazda 3 is getting 3 more MPGs since switching to this.

Never buy cheap fluids for your vehicle, the cost of failed lubricated parts is far more expensive than the pocket change buying cheap fluids. I recently retired from my 52 years servicing and repairing vehicles. I started as a porter and ended as a consultant working with a number of vehicle manufactures. I made a lot of money over the years repairing vehicles that had either the wrong fluids or low quality fluids and not changing them as necessary. Do yourself a favor and buy top quality fluids.

Significantly less expensive than amsoil and darn near as good!

I disliked the packaging it was a 5 quart Pennzoil container and the cap was loose and it had leaked about a quarter of a quart of oil inside a cardboard box with no padding or anything.
However this is the best bang for your buck oil available!

Having purchased and used the exclusive other synthetic oil on the market, it was great to know there are other great alternative in synthetic oil options to go with.

Hated to only give it four stars...

This is a great oil and the only one we use in our vehicle. We've ordered it from Amazon for a long time now. The only negative, which is why only four stars, (not the product's fault) is that it's not always available. And on one occasion, we were sent the wrong oil. Again, the product is fantastic! Very pleased with it and will continue to order through Amazon.
