Autozone Oil special

At Autozone, I was able to buy a 12 pack of 5w-30 Penzoil for the 2nd and 3rd phase of my Auto-rx treatment. This runs me about 32 bucks for just the oil itself. I was going to buy some AC Delco filters, but I found out that if you bought Frams instead, that it roughly save me 12 bucks.
I KNOW I KNOW........Frams suck ass. I just needed something to get me through the last two phases of the oil changes. Most likely I will change the Frams out after 600 miles. I am extremely strapped for cash so I went this route.
Just a heads up for you guys.

It pays to check around. In the central USA I get oil for arounD $1.75 qt.
AC delco filters for around 2.75 to 3.00$ AT Oreilly,s and Carquest.
FRAM FILTERS COME OFF OF THE BOTTOM OF THE DECK.

And that is why they are being used for the rinse phase. Mobil1 is going back in ASAP.

Good plan! I figured Pennzoil had to be good for something! Not lubricating the toilet seat hinge, but better yet, flush!

Anyone who reads comic books knows that you don't need to lubricate your toilet seat hinge, you just piss on it once in a while.

I've been using pennzoil for 37 years without a problem, except for my '76 Monte Carlo which rounded a cam at 26K. That was a bad die problem from GM, and They replaced the part but not the labor.

Pennzoil has been tied into some sludge and varnish depositis on the valvetrain due to the lower quality high parrifin basestock.
Right now one Pennzoil is doing really well and that is Pennzoil Platinum.

Can you site your source of that information ?
Can you explain what parrifin does ? ...and what high quality is and how do we know when we have it ?

All the information you need there.
You know that a lot of people there have had varnish problems with Pennzoil. The only reason varnish and sludge can come about when a person is changing their oil properly is a crappy basestock.
Also, for the same money there are much better oils with much better track records.
For any Dino application in a 4.3L I would recommend Castrol GTX 5w30 or 10w30 in the southern states.

Paraffin is esentially wax which is a constituent of normal conventioanl oil.
Through the refining process, if a low quality crude or a less stringent refining process is used, a higher concentration of these wax crystals will be in the oil and these wax crystals are what falls out of suspension and deposits in the engine once they are mixed with combustion by-products.
That is why when you are using a true synthetic oil with no conventional byproducts or ingredients you don't see the formation of deposits in the engine.

...a quote from the above thread....."
" I have found this to be mostly bunk. Especially when people start throwing around parafin wax when referring to parafinic hydrocarbon chains.
Pennzoil probably did have some crappy oils in the 1960's, when pushed, sludged, gelled and caused excessive wear. Knowing what we know now, this seems very probable. But the same can be said for Castrol and other oils. I personally witnessed BlackDeath with Castrol 20W-50 in 1975.
Hot Rod mechanic tales really take on lives of their own! "
Here is another one from another thread...regarding the difference between parafin OIL and parafin WAX...
http://theoildrop.server101.com/cgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=42;t=001877
From Penzoil ...
Does Pennzoil® Motor Oil have paraffins, which cause engine sludge while other brands don't?
Engine sludge is prevented by, not caused by, the use of paraffinic oils. Pennzoil as well as all other
major motor oil producers use paraffinic base oils to produce motor oil. This type of base oil has
advantages over the other types of mineral oil available, which is why they are universally used. The only exceptions are synthetic motor oils, which of course cost much more than mineral oil based motor oils.
Synthetic base stocks are 100% paraffinic. Technically, paraffinic oil is a term used to describe the
chemical structure, not the wax content. Through dewaxing in the refinery and the addition of pour point depressants during blending any harmful effects of wax are eliminated or neutralized.

I don't deem information from a pennzoil company website to be an unbiased viewpoint.
Parafinitic base oil is cheap high wax crude.
There are far better oils on the market for the same price and with a far better track record.
With that being said, the Pennzoil Platinum is showing some great results.

I have been using Pennzoil for many years without a single engine related problem..
Maybe you like to drink the synthetic Koolaid at $5and up a quart, that's Cool.
But I change oil every 3,000 and will continue to use Pennzoil.
