You've probably heard of Pennzoil. But you might not have heard about all the benefits of Pennzoil products. There are many types and brands of motor oils to choose from. But when it comes to doing what's best for your engine, there is only one Pennzoil. Read on for answers to the most common Pennzoil questions, and learn what makes Pennzoil America's most trusted motor oil brand.*
Is Pennzoil good oil?
Yes. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we believe a good oil goes beyond lubricating your engine. That's why we trust Pennzoil motor oils for all of our synthetic oil changes. After 40 years and 3,500 patents, Pennzoil Platinum became the first motor oil made entirely from natural gas.
Pennzoil Synthetic motor oils are technologically advanced products formulated to withstand severe conditions and keep engines running clean. Because Pennzoil Synthetic motor oil is made from natural gas, it contains fewer of the impurities found in base oil made from crude.
All the research and development poured into Pennzoil Synthetics is meant to help keep your engine running cleaner and longer, and provide complete protection from wear and friction than any other leading synthetic oil.**
By exceeding current industry and manufacturer requirements, Pennzoil is more than good oil; it's America's number one selling motor oil brand!*
How is Pennzoil made?
While other motor oils are made from crude oil, Pennzoil synthetics is the first motor oil made from natural gas. Through a patented gas-to-liquid process, Pennzoil's synthetic motor oils are crystal clear and free from 99.5% of impurities found in crude oil.**
Where is Pennzoil made?
Every drop of Pennzoil synthetic motor oil distributed in North America is crafted from a base oil made from natural gas through a proprietary gas-to-liquid process, and manufactured at multiple blending plants across the US. Pennzoil inspects every product before it is distributed to ensure your engine receives high quality protection and performance.
