I think I'm going to use Penzoil Platinum full synthetic oil in our Terrain and I just received an advertisement for $3.99/quart for 5W-30. I'm new to Penzoil and I was wondering if you think this is a very good price or just average. Thanks.

Thats a pretty good price. Some WalMarts dont carry all viscosity types of PP. Just a head up.

I went to O'Rielly's 4 weeks ago and paid $35.00 for 5 gal w $10.00 rebate. My rebate check just came yesterday.
Three weeks ago I went to Wally's to change oil in the other car and was $22.... something if I remember. I am replacing my Mobil 1 oil with the platinum in both vehicles. Not sure why, just doing it even though have used Mobil 1 since 1974.
Nice too, that I found a local garage that changes the oil for only $10.00 labor. Due to this, he got my business to change out the spark plugs in my 06 Stang. Then took the Terrain back in to have him spray the rear beer keg muffler black and charged $10.00 labor for that.
I don't imagine there is much difference in PP oil than Mobil 1 or any other full synthetic other than pricing these days.
Others said they use PP on other oil change threads and figured would give it a try and was cheaper than Mobil 1.

Advance Auto Parts had it for $29.99 including a K&N filter plus a $10 rebate so the final cost was about $22 with filter and tax. Too bad it was a limit of two changes. 
I try to jump on their specials. Last one was Mobile One for about the same price.

5W-30 is the most popular weight currently. Everybody that has oil has that weight.
My brother had trouble finding 5W-20 on sale for a time over the last two years (he's a Dodge boy).
Menard's often had the QS oil he favored on sale but it was 5/30,10/30 only. He complained several times and now they seem to have ALL weights on sale.
Ford and Chrysler both call for 5W-20(blends) and seem to be doing fine with that thin of an oil. I thought GM would go that way as well but they haven't.

As has been said, that's a decent price. I personally like the Ultra better, but then you're just splitting hairs. And the cost is a bout the same.
The difference I like in PP vs Mobil 1.teetertotter said:
UOA show PP performs better in the GM DI's.
Can you create a post--- and show your exhaust beer keg.
I was just thinking this AM--- that im going to paint mine.

Mine looks the same using flat black I bought at local auto store. Can price for Hi Temp was $2.29. I took it to a local repair shop and charged me $10.00 labor for him to paint. There was a little left over in the can. After 6 weeks time,
underside still looks good after some auto car washes.
