Pennzoil Introduces New High Mileage Vehicle Motor Oil

HOUSTON--Jan. 22, 2002--Seeing the odometer flip over to 75,000 is a real milestone for many vehicles, as well as their owners. In celebration of your engine's life, America's No. 1-selling motor oil brand, Pennzoil®, has introduced a new product specifically for high mileage vehicles: Pennzoil® High Mileage Vehicle(TM) formula.

``The type of driving you do, the climate in which you live, and the age of your vehicle all have a bearing on the type of oil you should be using,'' said Kristin Stewart, senior brand manager of Pennzoil® brand products. ``Timing is key to the maintenance cycle, and vehicle owners with higher mileage now have an oil exclusively designed for the way they drive their vehicle.''

Providing maximum protection for vehicles with odometer readings of 75,000 miles and beyond, Pennzoil® High Mileage Vehicle(TM) motor oil helps prevent most of the common problems associated with older engines. These problems include cracked seals that cause leaks to form into deposits, robbing an engine of horsepower. In your engine, these deposits can cause piston rings to stick, allowing combustion gases to contaminate the oil, resulting in thicker oil. Pennzoil's new formula was developed with additional components to help prevent these types of engine problems.

Pennzoil's unique formula features an additive that interacts with the rubber in engine seals causing them to swell and preventing them from getting hard and cracked, ensuring better seal-to-seal metal contact, helping to prevent leaks and to reduce oil consumption.

Pennzoil® High Mileage Vehicle(TM) engine oil is a welcomed addition to the Pennzoil® brand family of elite motor oils specifically formulated to provide protection in the toughest conditions such as:
