0W-20 ProDS Full Synthetic Motor Oil - 1 qt. (223501727)

Received the newer Dexos1 Gen 2 5w-30 product. This differs from the main ad picture which is void of the dexos 1 logo on the product label, thus the older product version. Have been running Pennzoil Ultra Platinum in '13 F-150 EB for the last 40k miles doing used oil analysis every time. Will run the Havoline ProDS and compare UOA results when the next change is needed against the previous Pennzoil. Havoline promotes its superior viscosity control. Blackstone has me at 11k intervals with the Pennzoil UP. Will be interesting to evaluate and compare the Havoline. Had really good results previously with Delo in a Chevrolet diesel. High hopes for the Havoline this go around.Update: 5/25/2021 -> After oil changes with ProDS in March '20 and November '20. Blackstone shows viscosity is equivalent to Pennzoil UP. Copper and iron metals are down by nearly half. Will keep purchasing and using as long as price aligns with competitive among other top tier retail oils.

When it comes to 100% synthetic motor oil, they are all the same. So buy whichever one costs less.Furthermore, you shouldn’t ever buy a synthetic *blend*, because you have no idea what’s actually in it. You might assume a blend means half synthetic and half regular oil, but it doesn’t say that on the label. The word “blend” simply means two substances mixed together – but not how much there is of each. Why would anyone want an unknown oil in their engine? So either use 100% synthetic, like this excellent Havoline, or regular old motor oil. Keep in mind that every car built within the last 20 years or so should be using 100% synthetic.

GOOD STUFF

Great price , great oil, had a factory seal under the cap so it did'nt leak during shipment. 5qt. bottle had date on it , waspretty fresh and bottle looked new. I have used Havoline and Chevron Supreme in 5w20 and 10w30 conventional oil till a few years ago when I switched .Synthetic is almost at the same price point now as conventional oil . It's a no brainer.Havoline and Chevron make great motor oils .I use the recommended mfr. weight-grade and stay a little under the factory OCI. I have been using these brands for many years , they keep engines clean and happy.

I bought this oil for my mother's car when it was on sale for prime... She only puts about 8-10k miles a year on her Ford Taurus wagon, so I felt this would be a good candidate oil for a once year changing. It smelled like motor oil, poured out of the bottle like motor oil, it even felt like motor oil between my fingers... So I feel safe that it will be fine. Also the engine in her car has ran with it for a couple weeks now without self detonating, so I feel I made a good purchasing decision as well. If ever on sale again like it was, I will probably purchase again.

Although it was sold as used it did come with the cap protection still contacted so not opened. Have purchased 4 cases of Havoline transmission fluid and for the price you can't beat that either (works great BTW) so decided to try the motor oil for topping off between changes. For the price I paid for on the single bottle it can't be beat.

Oil IS oil. Good product. Although if you do buy to do your own oil change you only need to be sure of the viscosity (or more commonly known as weight).This is Chevron’s brand of engine lubricants and fluids. My reason for buying this in particular is their reputation for Techron. My idea is that if their gasoline is reputable, then their motor oil should be a equally premium product, albeit Havoline was once the Texaco brand.

I’m getting great mileage out of this oil. It doesn’t burn too fast and the overall quality seems to be just as good as any other full synthetic oil on the market. I’d definitely buy it again. The price was too good to pass up.
