Amsoil SS 5W30 vs Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5W30

No, no. Its not another thread of "what I think or what do guys recommend" I dont know if this video has been posted before but its really good for some of us that dont understand that well the technical jargon of some specs.

I would sure hope Amsoil wins this test given it's almost 3x as expensive as the other. Altough not sure it provides 3x the protection.

If your engine is still under warranty, you'd be smart to use an oil that meets Ford's specs, and of those 2 oils, only Pennzoil UP does, so up to you . But I'd still use PUP even out of warranty, since I change the oil every 5K miles. No need for a 'boutique' oil with those intervals, and it's cheaper and better like that IMO... but to each his own .

@Elp_jc you said Amsoil doesn’t meet Ford specs based on what? The WSS classification? Both meet API SN and ILSAC-GF5.

I’m not an expert, just trying to learn more.
