As one of our partners, you are familiar that ”The Proof is in the Pennzoil” is more than just a slogan – it is grounded in our position as the most trusted motor oil in America*, being the first synthetic motor oil made with natural gas and the resulting unbeatable engine protection of Pennzoil® Synthetics which are recommended by some of the world’s leading car manufacturers.

Pennzoil does more than just offer a great product; we provide you with unique capabilities to drive business traffic, consumer loyalty and profits through technological innovations which offer an excellent brand experience.
