Maybe 20-30 years ago...but Penzoil Platinum synthetic oil is some of the best stuff out on the market that you can buy for the price.

I have ran "plain ol' pennzoil" in my sandrail for the past 6 years without a problem, it is ran alot harder and in worse conditions than normal driving. No complaints here.

The standard dino Penzoil is still good oil, back in the day they had quality issues that would cause engine sludge, damage, etc but those problems are a thing of the past. If I were you guys though, I would switch to synthetic, but thats just my personal opinion.
