Pennzoil XLF

Re: Pennzoil XLF

As far as I've been able to determine all that's different between XLF and the previous edition is the label and the price. My WalMart was closing out the old stuff so I loaded up on Pennzoil synthetic blend for $7.00 a gallon last winter.

Re: Pennzoil XLF

What brand synthetic do you guys usually use? I looked at Wally world and only could find regular 2 stroke oil. Pennzoil and Wally brand..

I'll have to look for the Pennzoil blend. Heck,the Wally brand was 12 bucks here..

Re: Pennzoil XLF

When my Wal-Mart closed out the old synthetic blend it was $2.50 a gallon. They now have the new stuff, but I don't need it because I cleaned out the last 7 gallons of the old stuff. I think the new stuff is going for about $12 now.

Do you guys know what is different from the standard synthetic-blend Pennzoil?​

This new oil, [???????] is marketed for "Seasoned" engines that have been in service for a few years. I am only guessing here, but like the auto oils marketed for this same purpose, they probably have an additive to keep seals soft. I don't agree with this plan as I think it will cause premature seal leakage and failure in time. A lot of testing is done with regular oils to regulate seal expansion. Time will tell.

Pennzoil Marine? XLF Extended Life Formula TC-W3? Outboard 2-cycle Synthetic Blend Oil was developed for engines that are "seasoned" or have been in service for a few years. The robust formulation makes this oil also very suitable for new high displacement/horsepower carbureted or direct injection outboard motors.

Re: Pennzoil XLF

I was wondering the same thing. This is from the Pennzoil web site.

I don't know. Sounds like a step backwards to me. It also doesn't say anything about discontinuing the Premium plus.
