Pennzoil Platinum Synthetic good for 10,000 miles?

Well, I just went to Pennzoil Platinum because my wife puts about 800 miles a week on our 07 Tacoma DC Prerunner. Most of her travel is highway miles. How many miles do you think it is safe to say this oil is good for. I have a 2010 honda pilot with 5,000 miles on it and it says that it has 50% oil life left, and that is with conventional motor oil. So, what do you guys think?

 

I don't think that would be a problem, driving that many miles that quickly. Porshes and Audi's have 12,500 - 15,000 miles oil change intervals.

 

It's a FRAM Toughguard

 

get an oil sample at 5k, change the filter and top it off

if it comes back good ... go for ten from then on

use a quality oil filter, and keep the air filter clean

 

Fram Toughguard oil filters have silicone so it should be ok up to 5k, i wouldn't go anymore than that. I currently run MOBIL1 full synthetic with MOBILL oil filter and need to do it at about 6500k.I use to run fram tough guard but at 5k my oil was gone and needed to replace it.

 

dude, i know oil threads are retarded, but a Fram Tough Guard with silicone?!

 

Fram...hahaha, i wouldn't put a Fram on my Craftsman.

 

Dude Fraham oil filter have a Silicone anti-drainback valve so it holds a reserve of oil in the filter to help protect the engine during start-ups.

 

Just my two cents but i would not go longer than 5k on an oil change with any oil, any filter and under any driving conditions. I've seen way to many motors with major sludge problems from going to long between oil changes. We recommend no more than 5k on Porsche, Audi, VW, and BMW at our shop and thats with high end filters and elf full synthetic oil.

 

the basic fram filters are unimpressive, but the toughguard is an exceptional filter. don't fall into the fram=crap mentality just because you've read it a few times

edit- the extended guard is fram's best filter and what is generally considered exceptional. the toughguard is still a step up from the basic extraguard, however.

 

uh ok ... i think i'm maybe responding the hilarious notion that some ephemeral silicone coating let loose into my motor is somehow good

brawndo ... it's got electrolytes!

 

The only way to know for sure is via an oil study. My guess based on previous experience and many years of Pennzoil Platinum usage (including currently) tells me, yes, it would be fine. I would still change the filter, though.

So do many other filters, that doesn't make Fram better than them.

 

Never use Fram filters, they're junk. There is a guy on YouTube who did a review on 5 or 6 types of filters, fram was the worst of them. He cut them open and showed what was inside, fram was cardboard and paper towel like material, purolator beat them by a long shot. I also work for advance auto parts and even we dont carry fram, junk and over rated. If you want a really good filter go with Purolator Boss, Mobile One, Mann, or K&N, these are my top 4 best filters.

 

There are loads of people who go on youtube posting videos of all sorts of things many have no real knowledge about. These same people cut oil filters open and make anecdotal assessment. After one does it, another does the same and so on, so on. Pretty soon the planet is ablaze with Fram haters.

youtube, like the rest of the internet is a blessing and a curse, all in one.

 

https://youtu.be/iTNJLEV8CG8 hes a pretty smart guy. I know there are people out there just to knock on fram, but this guy isnt. It's an honest review.

 

A 5qt jug of pretty much any name brand oil is about $20. Oem toyota filters can be had for $5 each on fleabay w/free shipping. Buy a box of 10 like a lot of us do and you're good for years. Seems to me the saving vs the possible cost of problems later don't make sense to me. If I was bent on saving a few $ I think I'd just buy a generic brand dino oil and stick to recommended change intervals rather than buy "better" motor oil and rolling the dice on longer changes.

 

Dude this thread is 9 years old

 

$9 Fram XG3600 with SureGrip (Pack of 1)

Fram XG3600 @ 5K yes

Top off oil & go another 5K

 

holy schidt...............

 

So are knottyropes' plugs
