Pennzoil sucks, when i got my king ranch the ford mechanic at the dealership said whatever oil you go with DO NOT put in pennzoil, then he pointed to three f150's that had the motor tore apart and they all had pennzoil in them, go with motorcraft or valvoline or castrol for a good oil

Pennzoil is one of the top rated motor oils out there. I'd question any mechanic that thinks he can identify an oil by looking at it or tearing an engine apart. Sludge, FWIW, is not caused by an oil but water in the system that has overwhelmed the PCV system. Short trips, not running the engine at temp long enough, are the common factors in sludging an engine. Pennzoil gets my vote along with a quality filter like the Motorcraft or Purolator.

................We'll see. Don't forget my weather conditions are alot tougher than what any Texas Ford has seen. I had -46 celius the other day. Any vehicle that sees those conditions regularly and lasts past 100,000 miles is good in my books. Thats -50.8 Farenheit by the way.

we see 100 degree days in the summer and -50 in the winter. My buddies old escort would burn up penzoil like a siz and would use the cheep walmart brand stuff and the consumption was minimal. i wouldn't run penzoil in anything I got except for the penzoil platinum.
