Since I have been using it my oil consumption has slowed down. I am on my second oil change of it and it seems to be doing fine.

I though penzoil was "yellow death"... Any links to the oil analysis results? I think this oil might be at my local auto store. Much easier to find than GC, assuming its up to par...

Yeah, the Platinum is good stuff. Get on BobIsTheOilGuy and see for yourself.

Then of course, if you wanna get serious, the Wal-Mart Super Tech synthetic posts great analysis results as well. But when Advance Auto Parts had the Platinum on BOGO sale, I stocked up. I hope it does something for this piston slap. GC isn't touching it.
