PENNZOILS NEW NATURAL GAS OIL

[BPTTONE420012]

So pennzoil has a new synthetic out derived from natural gas... their claims are regular oils are made from crude oil which has lots of impurities and is a "dirty" oil... this new stuff starts off as natural gas and through some process they make oil out of it, the oil starts out clear until they add a few additives and then its a light honey color... they call it "clean" oil... anyone tried this new pennzoil platinum? my brother in law just tried it, and said the car even feels like its running cleaner... then again, he also had close to 8k miles since his last oil change.... pretty sure walmart oil would of felt cleaner than that black mud that was in there... THE CONCEPT OF A CLEANER STARTING PRODUCT MAKES A CLEANER END PRODUCT SEEMS LEGIT, BUT IS IT TRULY AS GOOD AS ITS SUPPOSE TO BE???

it's just a marketing ploy to sell more oil and it's cheaper to make..any product that comes from the ground has garbage in it and has to be cleaned. Shell owns the pennzoil name (and a few others) so it's actually a Shell product

Shell is unique in having this product and they are not selling it to others and it will make a great motor oil, there’s no doubt about it,” said Stephen Ames, managing director for SBA Consulting, which consults for the lubricants and refining industries. “Will it be better than other people’s motor oil remains to be seen.”


Shell’s base oil made from natural gas is cheaper than those derived from crude oil, which gives the company an advantage, Ames said.
