Pennzoil Platinum full synthetic SAE 5W-20 motor oil is made from natural gas, not crude oil. It is uniquely engineered from our revolutionary PurePlus gas-to-liquid technology, which is a patented process that converts pure natural gas into a high quality, full synthetic base oil. Our high-quality base oil contains fewer impurities than base oils made from crude oil, and when combined with our advanced additive technology, creates one of the best formulations in our Pennzoil portfolio. Pennzoil Platinum full synthetic SAE 5W-20 motor oil is licensed and meets the vehicle warranty requirements of GM?s dexos 1 Gen 2 specifications that are set forth to meet today?s modern engine technologies. This means that our Pennzoil Platinum full synthetic products meet the stringent requirements of leading car manufacturers. Why does this matter? Modern engine technologies have evolved over the years and today?s engine parts have reached an unprecedented level of fine manufacturing tolerances which require a high-quality engine oil to help provide complete engine protection. This includes protection against abnormal combustion phenomenon like low-speed pre-ignition observed in modern turbocharged gasoline direct injection (TGDI) engines. Our Pennzoil Full Synthetic products are engineered for modern engines and offer the following benefits without compromise: Better Fuel Economy: With Pennzoil Platinum full synthetic motor oil, you can drive on average an extra 550 miles vs a dirty engine (Fuel economy measurements made using CAFE cycle under FTP75. Avg of 550 extra miles based on mixed city/highway miles vs dirty engine. Source fhwa.dot.gov, 2017. Follow OEM recommended oil drain intervals). Protects Horsepower: Pennzoil Platinum Full Synthetic motor oil helps protect against loss of power by helping to protect your engine against wear and deposit formation. Unsurpassed Wear Protection: When it comes to protecting the internal parts of your engine from metal-on-metal contact, no other leading synthetic motor oil provides better wear protection from friction than Pennzoil Platinum Full Synthetic motor oil (Based on Sequence IVA wear test using SAE 5W-30). Excellent Temperature Performance: Provides faster low temperature oil flow and protects in extreme heat. Cleaner Pistons: Offers outstanding piston cleanliness by capturing dirt and contaminants and keeping pistons up to 45% cleaner than required by the toughest industry standards (Based on Sequence IIIH results). It meets or exceeds the following OEM requirements: FCA MS-6395; Ford WSS-M2C945-B1; GM dexos1 Gen 2. It also exceeds the requirements of the following industry specifications: API SP and all previous categories; ILSAC GF-6; ACEA A1/B1.
