Does that cause the oil weight to go up by cleaning too much or something?
Wait, what? O.o

There are maximum limits for additives as part of approvals. For instance, let's say hypothetical for DexOS, that the max amount of Zinc and Phosphorus was 800ppm. If an oil had 900ppm, that would be above the max amount limited by the approval and they wouldn't be granted approval.

For a real-life test specs analysis, this is for the new Dexos1 Gen 3:
Quote :
In addition to engine tests, changes are being made to some key bench tests and rules for running programs, Zreik said. Notably, the Noack volatility limit will be changed from 13 percent to an average of 12.5 percent on three test runs. The sulfated ash limit will change from less than or equal to 1 percent to 0.9 percent.
So if an oil had a higher Noack limit than 12.5% or sulfated ash was higher than .9%, it wouldn't be granted approval.

This is just regular platinum on some of these; not ultra platinum

I saw a few people who don't think the non ultra was as favorable on synthetic oil tests so don't just assume this is the same as ultra as I did and it's just suddenly much cheaper

I swear they make the names so confusing just to get people to mistakenly buy the inferior item

so, what's the difference between platinum and ultra platinum besides the word ultra?
Iirc, Pennzoil descriptions suggest Ultra keeps oil 65% cleaner than industry standards, while Premium keeps oil 40% cleaner than industry standards

Mobil 1 rebate is a scam.
I've had success with Mobil 1 rebates multiple times. But YMMV

Interesting. I do look into the oil I buy, but not in this much detail. Would you mind linking your sources?


EDIT: This wasn't meant to be passive agressive. IDK if it came off that way

Find the older BMWs do better with a 5w40, but of course the euro blends are not on sale. Blah.

You sure that was for "platinum" and not just the "full synthetic"?

Platinum is the one eligible for the rebate.

Delivery by May. Nice. Rebates aside, pretty normal price around $25
Remember to wait for delivery before completing your rebate request.

Rebate worked flawlessly for me, I ordered 2 5qt Jugs and sent the receipt of order from Amazon before it shipped I sent 2 separate screen shot photos to show the full purchase and I chose an Amazon gift card 2 weeks later after I received my confirmation email. My request did not show when I searched the penzoil rebate status for a long while so I think they are lagging behind updates. But it worked very easily
