5.0

FromG2Z

Guys, I learn something new everyday. What is PPS? Is that Penzoil Platinum 5W-20? You'd recommend that over Amsoil 5W-20? And why so?




Hey GZ3! I ordered the same thing earlier this week! How do they sound compared to stock? Got a vid? After much research, I figured the Gt500's were the best sounding, not too loud, not too soft. The cost can't be beat either. How was the install? I'm assuming I jack it up or on ramps, and simple as pie?

what's o/r H?

PPS is Penzoil Platinum Synthetic, so yes.

I don't know much about Amsoil but I do know that PPS has really good oil analysis results and is a top grade synthetic. The 5.0 doesn't need Ester or anything like the Z did, so that's what I use. I like Redline, but it's not necessary.

Ah I see. I'll have to do more research on PPS. So you really like the stuff? I bet it's a lot cheaper than Amsoil too.

Hey Steve, on another note, been reading a lot about this infamous 5.0 engine ticking noise... do you have it or have any thoughts on it?
