Whether you’re searching online or at an auto parts store, choosing the best motor oil to put in your vehicle’s engine is crucial because it is the lifeblood of your engine. Using the correct motor oil is essential to keep your vehicle running properly and can potentially save you from costly repairs or untimely breakdowns while on the road.
All engines depend on motor oil for many reasons, including lubricating engine parts, preventing wear, reducing friction, protecting against rust and corrosion, keeping engine parts clean, minimizing deposits, and protecting emissions systems. As modern engine design has advanced, low viscosity motor oils such as SAE, 0W-40, SAE 0W-30, SAE 0W-20 and even SAE 0W-16 are often required for their operation. Pennzoil offers a complete portfolio of full synthetic motor oils that are proven to not only meet but exceed the needs of your vehicle’s engine.
The best way to be certain you are using the motor oil that your engine requires is to check the owner’s manual that comes with the vehicle. This will show the recommended SAE motor oil viscosity and ILSAC or API performance standard that the engine requires.
The process of creating high-quality motor oil is continually evolving alongside advances in engine technology that require motor oils to survive extreme heat and high stress. Pennzoil works with vehicle manufacturers, the American Petroleum Institute (API) and others within the automotive industry to develop robust standards for motor oil for gasoline powered engines.
This is particularly true with the development and introduction of ILSAC GF-6A and GF-6B motor oil standards which became effective in 2020, replacing ILSAC GF-5. GF-6B is a new standard for low viscosity SAE 0W-16 motor oils. Pennzoil Platinum™ SAE 0W-16 Full Synthetic motor oil meets the GF-6B standard.
Pennzoil works continuously to develop and improve our full line of motor oils by incorporating cutting-edge technology in our Pennzoil full synthetic motor oils which are formulated to withstand severe conditions and keep engines running clean. Pennzoil is the first motor oil made with natural gas.
All motor oils on the market must pass a number of grueling and challenge tests that push the motor oil far beyond the limits of normal or even extreme driving with some requiring high temperatures and running hundreds of hours in length. Pennzoil motor oils are formulated and tested to not only meet, but to exceed the testing minimums, giving you the assurance that you are pouring high-quality motor oil in your engine. In particular, Pennzoil Platinum Full Synthetic motor oil keeps pistons up to 50% cleaner than required by the toughest industry standard1. Additionally, no other leading motor oil provides better protection from friction2 and faster low temperature oil flow protects engines in extreme heat.
Pennzoil Platinum Full Synthetic motor oils help extend engine life and protect for up to 15 years or 500k miles, whichever comes first. Guaranteed3. The Pennzoil Lubrication Limited Warranty demonstrates the confidence Pennzoil has in its Pennzoil Platinum Full Synthetic motor oil, so you can confidently choose the product that ensures you will be on the road for years to come.
