Pennzoil Platinum Full Synthetic 5W-20 Motor Oil 6-Quart Case

Pennzoil Platinum Full Synthetic 5W-20 motor oil is a premium full synthetic motor oil made with natural gas that maximizes engine protection. Backed by a 15,000-mile protection guarantee*, this oil helps you go longer between oil changes and provides better fuel economy based on the latest industry standards.

The oil keeps pistons up to 45% cleaner than the toughest industry standard, as demonstrated by Sequence IIIH results. Notably, no other leading synthetic oil provides better wear protection from friction, as shown by the Sequence IVA wear test using SAE 5W-30.

Formulated to provide faster low-temperature oil flow and protection in extreme heat, this Pennzoil Platinum oil helps protect engines from loss of power. It meets or exceeds the requirements of Chrysler MS-6395, GM dexos1 Gen. 3, and Ford WSS-M2C960-A, as well as API SP, API SP-RC, and all previous API categories, and ILSAC GF-6A.

For a comprehensive list of equipment approvals and recommendations, please consult your local Shell Technical Help Desk and always refer to your vehicle's owner's manual.

Motor oil is a crucial component in the operation of vehicle engines, responsible for lubricating, cleaning, and cooling the various moving parts. Types of motor oil include conventional, synthetic, diesel, bio-based, hybrid (blends of conventional and synthetic), and recycled oils. The viscosity and weight of motor oil are measured using a numerical code system created by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), with higher numbers indicating a thicker, more viscous oil.

Most consumer motor oils are graded by two numbers, with the first number indicating cold weather (Winter or "W") performance. The oil discussed here has a weight of SAE 5W-20, meaning it has an SAE viscosity rating of 5 in cold temperatures and a rating of 20 at normal operating temperature. It is essential to always check your vehicle's owner's manual to ensure you are using the correct weight of motor oil for your specific vehicle.

Synthetic oil, such as Pennzoil Platinum, is created through a complex manufacturing process and does not contain crude oil. Synthetic oils often provide superior mechanical performance compared to traditional motor oils refined from crude oil, including increased fuel efficiency and reduced engine wear at extreme temperatures. However, this advanced formulation can also result in a higher cost.
