The prestigious award is presented to a select number of outstanding products each year at the automotive aftermarket industry’s premier event.

“Pennzoil is honored to receive the Popular Mechanics Editor’s Choice Award for the new formulation of Pennzoil Platinum with adaptive molecules,” said Jeffrey Lack, brand director, Pennzoil. “Pennzoil Platinum is the most advanced product ever developed by Pennzoil; to receive recognition from Popular Mechanics is strong confirmation that we have developed a full synthetic motor oil that consumers can trust to provide the ultimate level of protection they require for their engines.”
