Pennzoil Ultra 5W-40 Euro full synthetic

Has anyone else tried this oil? I am at 62k miles and at 63k~ its time for another oil change(I did my last one around 54k-55k with OEM oil from tischer) It is now LL-01 certified but from what I am reading, in the past it was not? I know it is run in direct injection ferraris and I am really interested in trying it out. It seems to have really solid reviews on bobistheoilguy.

I will update this thread with my experiences after the oil arrives and I will send it in for analysis along with the current oem oil in my car now. I found it for 40 bucks per 6 quarts...so I will have 12 quarts to start off with. I usually have to add about 1quart of oil per 5000 miles with as hard as I drive the car so I'm not sure if i should keep the extra 5 quarts or sell them individually so others can try out this oil.(that would allow others to buy the 6quart pack and then 1 quart from me so they wouldn't have to upfront buy 2 6 packs like I did. this oil is not available in the USA in a single quart)

try it, surely good. I use Fuchs Titan Race S 5W-40.
Much better oil temps than OEM oil. Still full after 7000 miles with lots of pulls and track days.
