Pennzoil Ultra Platinum Full Synthetic motor oil is one of the best full synthetic motor oils in our portfolio. Made for extreme performance, Pennzoil Ultra Platinum outperforms conventional oils in terms of low temperature performance and volatility control. Our full synthetic motor oils are uniquely engineered from our revolutionary PurePlus Technology which is a patented process that converts pure natural gas into a high quality, full synthetic base oil. Because it is made from natural gas, the high quality base oil is 99.5% pure 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. At Pennzoil, our engineers and scientists have been involved in supporting motorsports teams through the development and delivery of dedicated motor oils that enable powerful engines. Our high-quality base oil and innovative generation of friction modifiers, detergent and anti-wear additives are carefully balanced and designed to withstand the high temperature, high stress environment in some IndyCar race engines and helps reduce frictional losses. The same Pennzoil Ultra Platinum SAE 0W-40 Full Synthetic Motor Oil that is used by Helio Castrovenes in his IndyCar engine is also available off-the-shelf and is specifically formulated for high performance. Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0W-40 is the only motor oil trusted to be factory fill in every Chrysler SRT8 HEMI engine, and the SRT Viper. It is the only motor oil recommended in SRT engines.  It is specifically fortified with a “moly" friction modifier that enables precise cam phaser rotation for accurate opening and closing of valves that helps deliver power when needed.
