Pennzoil Platinum High Mileage SAE 0W-20 is a full synthetic motor oil that is uniquely engineered from our revolutionary PurePlus gas-to-liquid 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 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 high mileage portfolio. As your car ages, leaks may develop and cause higher oil consumption and oil burn off, potentially causing your engine to need frequent top-offs. Pennzoil Platinum High Mileage motor oil is enhanced with an excellent combination of special conditioning seal agents and additives to help stop leaks from seals and reduce the oil consumption that is typical of older and worn engines. Our full synthetic high mileage motor oil also protects engines from loss of horsepower, offers excellent performance in extreme temperatures, and provides unsurpassed wear protection, and protection against abnormal combustion phenomenon like low-speed pre-ignition observed in modern turbocharged gasoline direct injection (TGDI) engines. Pennzoil Platinum High Mileage SAE 0W-20 is engineered to help keep engines clean by gently lifting deposits and keeping them away from critical moving engine parts In fact, it keeps pistons up to 50% cleaner than the toughest industry standards.

Castrol® GTX® High Mileage motor oil is the leading consumer high-mileage brand. It’s a synthetic blend motor oil that helps extend the life of your engine by protecting against sludge, wear and burn-off. Castrol GTX High Mileage is also engineered to protect your emission system. One of the leading causes of ‘check engine’ lights coming on in high mileage cars is catalytic converter failure, which can be caused by phosphorous in engine oil. While phosphorous is present in all engine oils for its ability to reduce wear, it is effectively poisonous to catalytic converters. Castrol GTX High Mileage is formulated with Phosphorous Replacement Technology to replace some of the phosphorous with an advanced additive that maintains robust wear protection. When you want to extend the life of your high mileage engine and emission system, there is no better choice than Castrol GTX High Mileage.

Product Features:

• Phosphorus Replacement Technology to help extend the life of the emission system
• Superior dispersancy that fights sludge build up
• Exceptional oil burn-off protection exceeding industry standards (based on API and ACEA volatility specifications)
• Seal conditioners to help reduce leaks
• Advanced additives that minimize engine wear
• Improved fuel economy (in 5W-20, 5W-30 and 10W-30 grades versus industry specifications)
• Meets or exceeds API SP/SN PLUS/SN, ILSAC GF-6 and latest Ford specs

FRAM Full Synthetic High Mileage SAE 0W-20 is a full synthetic motor oil blended with high quality synthetic base stocks and and enhanced additives that meet the stringent API: SP, SN, SM, SL, SJ, and ILSAC GF-6A specifications while reducing leaks and oil consumption in worn or higher mileage engines. Formulated with synthetic base stocks, this oil offers increased oxidation inhibition performance as well as increased high and low temperature performance when compared against conventional oils. The FRAM Full Synthetic High Mileage SAE 0W-20 is formulated to help clean out sludge buildup and keep engines running clean and with increased efficiency and power. Specially designed for engines with over 75,000 miles, the FRAM Full Synthetic High Mileage SAE 0W-20 provides the ultimate protection for your higher mileage engine. Specifically formulated for the rigorous environment of gas-direct engine (GDI) and turbo gas-direct engine (TGDI) designs as well as providing increased protection for carbureted or normally fuel injected engines. FRAM Full Synthetic High Mileage SAE 0W-20 contains additive technology designed to prevent low-speed pre-ignition (LSPI). LSPI can lead to pre-mature engine failure and is a major concern of the automotive industry for vehicles employing GDI or TGDI technology. This oil also provides increased wear protection, oxidation and shear stability for higher mileage vehicles over previous oil categories.

Product Features:

• Faster oil flow at start-up
