if nothing else, you are preventing further capillary migration of oil into the engine wiring harness, and preventing that catastrophe

@JettaRed I changed my oil last weekend...no where near me had any of the Penzoil. So, another round of Liquid Moly (5-40).

I do still get concerned about the +/- 20deg higher top number frequently on my dash......I know the numbers are "fake", but...see all the comments about the numbers being equal.

You could also try Motul : )

Yeah, I can only find the Pennzoil Platinum Euro 5W-40 on Amazon.

For whatever it's worth, that Pennzoil is not on MB approved oils list for the 229.5 spec. Only Pennzoil Platinum Euro is approved.

I'm very happy with Motul 5W40 to be honest.

STAYING IN RANGE... "API SP" for WET SEAL

+1: Motul is a quality lubricant I wouldn't mind using again.

6000 Mi on MOD-2.1

looks real good

nice bright honey
BEST OIL I'VE HAD

-- MOD-2 MOT. 5W-40 can hold it's viscosity longer than MOD-1 MOB. 0W-40 does in order to save energy.

-- Motul Xcess Gen2 5w40 is "API SN Rated"... translates at good levels of ZDDP/Ca at the expense of dirtier emissions sensors... exactly like most good hard-working oils HDEO!

High calcium blends are known to cause LSPI.
The GDI engines now favor API SP rated lubricants.

-- Soon going to testdrive possible upgrade:
MOD-3 on 15W-40 "SP" for clean cats/lambdas
-- the newest clean burning chemistry for MV HDEO.
-- It's rated API SP for its balance Moly/Boron and lower Zinc/Phosphorus/Calcium blended in a thicker base stock.
-- A proven group III lubricant at competitive price point, nothing exotic. Excellent oxidation control for extended service.
-- Best chemistry blend developed with Cummings.

> Tests numbers:
1,453 Calcium
620 Magnesium
1,020 Phophorus
1,141 Zinc
66 Boron
50 Molybdenum
0.5 TBN
110c 14.89
40c 113.59
VI 136
HTHS 3.5

-- Moly/Boron should help protect aluminum journals near HPFP

API SN vs. SP chemistry....

-- Then perhaps later....
Try a MOD-4: MOB. 0/5W-50 as needed.
No SP formulation available, only heavy ZDDP "racing" legacy chemistry.
