Yes. As long as it’s full synthetic and not some synthetic blend then it’s good quality oil

Pennzoil Ultra Platinum synthetic is second only to Amsoil. That being said, they are probably using Pennzoil Platinum which is not quite on the same level but still damn good.

You saw that "Project Farm" oil shootout I see ? But yeah, Ultra Platinum Pennzoil is what I use too.

I had followed the showdown but I had already known PUP would come in second or damn close to it - a few years ago Amsoil published a series of independent tests and analysis showing PUP being second to Amsoil beating all the other top brands they tested.

Synthetic oil is a blend of various type of organic compounds and base oils. Not really "full" synthetic if company uses a blend of group 3 and group 4 oil base to meet price to sell at. Don't try looking for a pure group 4 oil because it will not have the characteristics unless other stuff is added to it.

Pennzoil Ultra Platinum is a Full Synthetic motor oil made from natural gas. Here’s a video showing the huge Shell (which owns Pennzoil) gas to liquid plant.
