Pennzoil - High Mileage 10W-30 Conventional Motor Oil, 5 Quart (Part No. 550045205)
DescriptionPennzoil High Mileage SAE 10W-30 Motor Oil is engineered for cars that have accumulated more than 75,000 miles, particularly those that are experiencing oil leaks and oil burn off. Engines with higher mileage tend to experience more wear than new engines. As your car ages, leaks may develop and cause higher oil consumption and burn off which is why your engine might be needing frequent top-offs. Severe oil consumption and oil burn off may also cause other issues, leaving deposits on the internal parts of your engine. This could be due to dry or cracked seals. Pennzoil High Mileage motor oil is enhanced with an outstanding combination of special conditioning seal agents and additives to help stop leaks from aging seals and reduce the oil consumption that is typical of older and worn engines.
Product Features:- Recommended for vehicles with over 75,000 miles
- Helps prevent sludge and other damaging deposits
- Contains seal conditioning agents for dry or cracked engine seals to help reduce leaks and oil consumption
- Provides proven wear protection for engine parts
- Exceeds the requirements of the following industry specifications: API SP and all previous categories
