Pennzoil Warranty Terms


PENNZOIL LUBRICATION LIMITED WARRANTY



COVERING VEHICLE ENGINE PARTS FOR DO-IT-YOURSELF AND INSTALLED CUSTOMERS BY SOPUS PRODUCTS.




SOPUS Products warrants you, the vehicle owner or lessee whose name appears on the
front of this Pennzoil Lubrication Limited Warranty document (“you”), that it will repair or
replace, at its option and at its expense, the engine parts listed below, that fail on account
of engine wear or which experience abnormal wear, because Pennzoil ® motor oil failed
to provide proper lubrication. The Pennzoil Lubrication Limited Warranty includes all the
terms listed below. This Pennzoil Lubrication Limited Warranty is free. No one may charge
you a fee for it, or change it, or make any exceptions to its terms. This Pennzoil Lubrication
Limited Warranty is available on Pennzoil ® motor oil to customers who change their own
oil or have their oil changed by an installer, automotive center, commercial fast oil change
facility, gasoline service station, or auto dealer and who use Pennzoil ® motor oil.



THIS PENNZOIL LUBRICATION LIMITED WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED WARRANTIES, AND THERE ARE NO OTHER WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS
AND NONE SHALL BE IMPLIED. ALL WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED TO THE TERMS AND
DURATION OF THIS EXPRESS WARRANTY. SOPUS PRODUCTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR
ANY INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM THE USE OR FAILURE
OF THIS PRODUCT, HOWEVER CAUSED. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON
HOW LONG AN IMPLIED LIMITED WARRANTY LASTS,OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION
OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS OR
EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THIS PENNZOIL LUBRICATION LIMITED
WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER
RIGHTS, WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE. THIS PENNZOIL LUBRICATION LIMITED
WARRANTY DOES NOT EXTEND THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER’S LIMITED WARRANTY.


A. How Long Does the Pennzoil Lubrication Limited Warranty Last:



It takes effect six (6) months after your first eligible purchase of Pennzoil ® motor oil. As
long as you do what it says in this Pennzoil Lubrication Limited Warranty, your vehicle’s
Listed Engine Parts will be covered against lubrication caused failure from the time you
were eligible for this Pennzoil Lubrication Limited Warranty program as follows:



• Up to 15 years or 500,000 miles, whichever comes first, guaranteed* – if you exclusively use Pennzoil ®
top portfolio level full synthetic motor oil (i.e., Pennzoil Ultra Platinum™ Full Synthetic motor oil, Pennzoil Platinum® Full Synthetic motor oil, Pennzoil Platinum® Euro Full Synthetic motor oil, or Pennzoil Platinum® High Mileage Full Synthetic motor oil)


• Up to 10 years or 300,000 miles, whichever comes first – if you exclusively use other Pennzoil ®
motor oil products (i.e., Pennzoil® motor oil, Pennzoil Professional® motor oil, Pennzoil Gold™ Synthetic Blend motor oil, or Pennzoil® High Mileage)





Please note the following:



• You may change your level of warranty protection at any time as long as your vehicle
is within 125,000 miles and within 72 months old.


• Once your vehicle has more than 125,000 miles or is more than 72 months old, you may
only change from 15 years/ 500,000 miles warranty protection to 10 years/300,000
miles warranty protection. The change becomes effective as soon as you stop using
the Pennzoil ® top portfolio level full synthetic motor oil and start using the other
Pennzoil motor oil products. This change cannot be reversed.


• Product names may change or a product may be substituted or discontinued without
notice at SOPUS Products’ sole discretion.
