My uncle has used penzoil for years and has never had a problem but
according to my friend, he has heard stories in which that pure base stuff
rotted out the inside of the engine. but i don't know how true those claims
are. personnally though I run full sythetics in my 91' with over 120,000 and
it complaned at me when I put a Syn. blend oil in so I am sticking to
synthetics until I get her rebuilt and don't have to worry about excesive
blowby.

Subject: DML: Penzoil pure-base - What is this stuff?
Help!
What exactly is this stuff? It is supposed to be 97 or 98% pure (no
contaminants such as asphaltines, paraffin's or ash). Have they just
refined the base oil enough to remove the impurities or is this a
synthetically "grown" base much like Mobil 1?
Just wondering. It sounds good and I would like to use it in my Dak for my
next oil change before I go to synthetic.
