• Up to 15 years or 500,000 miles (whichever is first) – if you exclusively use Pennzoil® top portfolio level full synthetic motor oil (i.e., Pennzoil Ultra Platinum™)
• Up to 10 years or 300,000 miles (whichever is first) – if you exclusively use other Pennzoil® motor oil products (i.e., Pennzoil®, Pennzoil Gold™, Pennzoil® High Mileage, Pennzoil Platinum®, or Pennzoil Platinum® High Mileage Full Synthetic motor oil)

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.
