I dislike Pennzoil so - noyt for me. personally after killing ALL my engines to early in the past 5 years with this crap US spec oils, I would only run the real stuff imported from Europe: Total(ELF), Motul, Fuchs, Pentosin, Haven't tried Amsoil yet. May give the ATM blue cap Amsoil a try, Better to give my $$ to the good ole USofA other than the EU.
