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.
Since you have this thing against what you consider to be fakes, funny that you'd pick blue cap Amsoil...you're meaning the XL series? It's group III and ACEA A1/B1 nothing too special about that.
