UPS just delivered

[TradesmanGuy]

Three 5 gallon bottles of Penzoil Platinum Full Synthetic 0W-20W motor oil. At $62 for all, delivery included. This is less then 1/2 what one would pay for a single Quart per quart. Cost of oil is crazy, and I'm loving this deal.

Nice find. That's about six bucks less than Amazon has it listed for. I suspect most people would have opted for the Pennzoil Ultra Platinum, but PP works well too. Funny you should mention oil. I just received the Red Line 5w-30 oil today for my next oil change. Lets just say it was a bit more expensive than that

An excellent price. Checking HD now shows it for $75.57.

I'm a Mobil 1 user, but this was a deal I could not pass up. I should be good for quite a few years.

Three 5 QUART bottles, maybe?

Three 5 QUART bottles, maybe?

YUP, Pennzoil sells those "5" QUART Bottles. I buy mine from Walmart online, since I use 5W 20 PUP which is not available here locally. Than of course have to buy "2" singles (quarts) to get to the required magic '7' quart number.

Luckily, they added an extra .5 quart capacity to the 3.0

@GeauxinUp
Makes sense to me. (sic)


They actually take 7 1/2 quarts of oil with filter change. Just looked it up in 2025 Ram Manual.

ALSO: per RAM:
Synthetic Engine Oils
Your engine was designed for synthetic engine oils, only
use synthetic API approved engine oils.
Synthetic engine oils which do not have both the correct
API trademark and the correct SAE viscosity grade
numbers should not be used.

I don't know anybody who would use 0W-20 in anything

Most people run whatever oil viscosity is recommended, and many car makers recommend 0w 20. It's likely that literally hundreds of millions of people world wide use it. I'm sure you know at least one of them

I use 0W20, have for years. No issues. It's not 1950, engineering has evolved in both engines and lubrication.

Yeah, there's this little company called Toyota (most have never heard of them) that spec'd 0W20 for YEARS, but what do they know about engineering?

I've never use such light oil either. But that is recommended.

The tight tolerances must be where they are getting 400 to 500hp from these small engines. Tight specs, greater efficiency, requires thinner oils. The 20W-50 of my 1980s motorcycle days is gone.

Very well acquainted with Toyota 0w20 & 0w16 synthetic oil and I can personally say based on UOA on tow different engines it's not all that great of oil being many of those 4 banger engines have high fuel contamination of 5% or greater that Toyota thinks is okay and nothing to worry about..

I still run AT Mobil 1 10W 40 in my 2006 Honda Wing. I run very specific additives/non additive oil, due to oil on a 1832CC Boxer motor, all in one slush pit: Trans/Clutch/Engine.

Demineralized water cheaper ??? Just throw some brown color dye in it?
