Penzoil Ultra Platinum - Amazing Sale

I just saw this posted from the engine forum, but I wanted to make a big stink of it here. I have been caught needing an oil change where 5W-30 Pennzoil Ultra Platinum was unavailable for months. I also paid $150 for 3x 5 qt just just at the end of last year. Right now it is $25 for a single 5 qt jug from Amazon. I just ordered 6 jugs. I do not wish to prove to you that this oil is better or worse than anything else, but this is a really awesome price!!!!

Pennzoil 550045201 Ultra Platinum 5 quart 5W-30 Full Synthetic Motor Oil (SN/GF-5 Jug)

Sale price is still good! I ordered my 6 jugs. That should keep me set until this time next year. I forgot to get filters, though.

Once every 4 weeks it will be this price at Canadian Tire here in Canada. It's the time where I usually buy 3-4 at the time.

I just bought 3 of the 5 quart jugs of the Platinum Euro L Dexos 2 from wally world for $24 each since the Ultra Platinum that I normally use is hard to get and is only Dexos 1.

What's the difference between Ultra and Euro? Is the Euro just as good for use in our Camaros?

I emailed pennzoil about this about a week ago. Still waiting on a response. The latest bottle clearly lists older gm specifications on the back but not dexos. Dexos 1 first gen was just replaced with dexos 1 gen 2 not to be confused with dexos 2.

Dexos 1 gen 1 was replaced with gen 2 to require higher standards related to pre ignition which is apparently prevalent in direct injection turbo engines.

I have been using pennzoil ultra since I had my g8 GT but I am not potentially sacrificing the warranty on my SS if it is not approved.

Great price on this! I bought enough for my first oil change last year when NAPA had this same deal. Unfortunately I was unable to find that same price six months later for the next oil change.

I just reserved enough of it at my local NAPA store for my next TWO oil changes.

The spec sheet you posted is from 2014 so it does not explain why some bottles stopped saying dexos 1 on them.
