Changes to Pennzoil Ultra Platinum

[1971demon]

So many choices! I have my oil changed at the dealer every six months. The dealer will only use PUP on the Hellcat. Per the dealer, this will keep the warranty in effect, as I have an 8-year extended warranty. I have owned three Challenger Hellcats and never a problem and every six months I have the oil changed and a check-up. I plan to keep the same procedures, it works and the warranty is in effect, if there is a problem.

Would be hard to know if you ever have a problem until 100Ks miles and many years. Go do some reading on Bob Is The Oil Guy forums, many people run the cheapest oil they can find for many many miles without issue.

I used to run Penzoil Platinum Full Synthetic (before Ultra came out) in our cars. Then saw some real world testing that showed the Penzoil Full Synthetic was actually a better oil (non Platinum) and switched to that. I do once a year oil changes and have for MANY years on the 4Runner. When I pulled the valve covers a couple years ago at 160K miles to replace gaskets it looked new inside.

Summary, I don't get too hung up on oil and oil change intervals.

I do a 6 mos PUP on the Demon 170 though, strictly for the warranty.

glad I decided to grow the stockpile of the good PUP before this change!

@Speedy after the warranty on the 170 will you go to annual oil changes?

Now that I think about, this is why this spring when I double-checked that oil was in stock before going to grab some, no one had it in stock, and Amazon had it for like 3 times the price. Then I searched parts by model and found that the part number changed.

This is the 2 bottles I have, old and new (Canadian bilingual labels). Not sure why they just switch to refining from Canadian natural gas. We got plenty of it up here.
