What is the Pennzoil Warranty?
Up to 15 years/500,000 miles, Pennzoil Lubrication Limited Warranty covering 15 vehicle engine parts that may fail due to engine wear, or which experience abnormal wear, because Pennzoil® motor oil failed to provide proper lubrication. You have 2 levels of protection available:
- Coverage up to 15 years/500,000 miles for customers exclusively using Pennzoil®
top portfolio level full synthetic motor oil (i.e., Pennzoil Ultra PlatinumTM Full Synthetic motor oil) - Coverage up to 10 years or 300,000 miles (whichever is first) – if you exclusively use other Pennzoil® motor oil products (i.e., Pennzoil® motor oil, Pennzoil Professional® motor oil, Pennzoil GoldTM Synthetic Blend motor oil, Pennzoil® High Mileage, Pennzoil Platinum® Full Synthetic motor oil, or Pennzoil Platinum® High Mileage Full Synthetic motor oil).
- Coverage up to 15 years/500,000 miles for customers exclusively using Pennzoil®
-
Is there a charge for the warranty?
NO – it’s FREE with purchase of any Pennzoil® motor oil.
-
How do I apply for the warranty?
You can register by completing the online registration form.
-
Do vehicles with newly replaced or rebuilt engines qualify for the warranty?
No.
-
I use synthetic motor oil; am I still required to change my oil as often as my owner manual states?
YES – one of the main functions of motor oil is to remove contaminants and combustion by-products from the engine by holding them in suspension. Although synthetic motor oils are designed to provide better protection under extreme heat and heavy loads, any oil will reach a saturation point where it can no longer hold the contaminants and protect the engine from them.
-
My manufacturer recommends changing the oil between 5,000 – 7,000 miles. Should I follow the manufacturer’s recommendations?
Service your vehicle’s engine with a Pennzoil® motor oil, in the service classification and viscosity grade that is appropriate for your vehicle as recommended by your vehicle manufacturer. SOPUS Products requires you to change your vehicle’s oil and oil filter at least as often as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. Reference information about vehicle manufacturer recommended oil and oil filter change intervals is available upon enrollment in the Pennzoil Lubrication Limited Warranty website.
-
How many vehicles may I have registered under the program?
As many as you want as long as they qualify:
- Passenger car, van, SUV and pickup truck
- Gross vehicular weight of 10,000 pounds or less that you own or lease
- Driven 75,000 miles or less and whose manufactured date is within the last 72 months of your first use of Pennzoil® motor oil.
-
I did not follow the oil change requirements specified in my owner manual, does this mean my warranty is void?
Yes – to maintain warranty coverage you must change your vehicle’s oil and oil filter at least as often as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
-
I am missing a few of my oil change receipts from my records and am unable to obtain copies. Does this mean that my warranty is void?
Yes – The retention and validity of your service/purchase receipts is important. Should you have the need to submit a claim, we’ll need to clearly identify the following from your receipts:
- A Pennzoil® motor oil and a new oil filter were purchased.
- Any manufacturer required services were performed (e.g. air filter replacement).
- The mileage at time of service and complete vehicle information
Please store your receipts in a safe place. Omission of any receipts may result in a claim denial.
-
If I live in California or Michigan; do I need to register online?
By state law, you are not required to register online. However, online registration allows you to: set up oil change reminders; organize and maintain your oil change records; and access manufacturer oil change recommendations specific to your vehicle. California and Michigan residents not registering online must comply with all other terms and conditions of the Pennzoil Lubrication Limited Warranty. California and Michigan residents registering online acknowledge that they will comply with all requirements, including updating records once per year as per the terms and conditions of the Pennzoil Lubrication Limited Warranty program.
