You heard that right, $1.00 5 QT oil at Home Depot. It is Pennzoil 5 QT High Mileage 10W/40. I saw this on another forum I'm on and thought are you kidding is this a joke, but sure enough I went there this morning and brought it to the cashier and they said it is indeed $1.00. There were 5 on the shelf and needless to say I grabbed all 5, the total give or take came to about $5.35.
**It's a great deal, don't wait on this. Just one at Walmart costs $15.00-20.00**

NOTE- It is the conventional oil NOT the synthetic!

Couple weeks ago local HD had Castrol Syntec full synthetic for $7 per 5 quart jug for 10W-30. For that, I will run it in my lawnmowers. It did not last long.

These photos show an engine that was subjected to Pennzoil over and over again........ Original owner? What was the duration between oil changes?

Back in the 80's my old business partner had a buddy who was a retired GM engineer & he was wrenching for people out of his garage. He always called Pennzoil "black death." From your photos, I see exactly why!

I got it for free so I put it in my car as well. In 50k miles my engine looked like this one. Never again. I won't buy that stuff regardless of price.

Back in the 70's and 80's we found the multi grade Quarker State would do that but not the straight weight. Pennzoil seemed to almost always wax up.

it was quaker state around here as well. pennzoil had a good rep. of course long spans between changes, only changing the filter every other oil change, short trips not getting the engine up to temperature, plugged up breather systems, all contributed to the engine pics Barry posted. it didn't matter what oil was used. i got many engines like that back in my junkyard ownership days. guys used to "unsludge" engines by draining the oil out, then dumping in 5 or 6 quarts of diesel fuel or kerosene, running the thing for "x" amount of time, draining the stuff, then adding new oil.

It's only been asked once, so I'll second it. What were the change intervals on these sludge bombs?

Back in the 90s I heard a lot of stories about Quaker State oil gumming up the works due to having a lot of wax in it or something. Therefore I avoided it and used Pennzoil in my 5.9 Ram, changed oil and filter every 3000 miles, and never had any issues with the engine. I owned the truck 13 years and it had maybe 105,000 miles when I sold it. I didn’t do much in the way of short trips in it. I’d hazard a guess that cars used for a lot of short trips that don’t get warmed up fully are a lot more prone to getting sludged up, along with not changing the oil enough, and brand of oil may be a factor but not the main cause of the problem.

What if you use a Fram filter along with your Pennzoil or Quaker State oil? Breaks the fourth seal of Revelation and unleashes death upon the world. Or so I've been told.

What if you put the car on a treadmill before you change the oil?
