Changing your car’s motor oil is part of regular maintenance, and every car enthusiast wants to keep their engine as clean and pristine as possible. Who wouldn’t want to use the motor oil recommended by Ferrari? Recently, the new Pennzoil Ultra™ motor oil with Hyper Cleansing Technology™ was named as the only motor oil approved and recommended for use in all Ferrari engines in the United States.

Pennzoil Ultra™ is a new full synthetic motor oil that helps keep engines closer to factory clean. Pennzoil Ultra™ is made from an advanced proprietary synthetic formulation that includes Hyper Cleansing Technology™ designed to exceed most car manufacturer’ most stringent standards for engine cleanliness, and is engineered to maintain an engine as close to factory clean as possible. Nothing helps keeps your engine closer to factory clean.

Today’s engines are much more complex and sophisticated than their counterparts of just a few years ago. They are smaller, yet they generate more power, often via turbocharging or supercharging, so they run hotter. They feature far tighter tolerances, and in many cases they boast alternative technologies, like hybrid, diesel or biofuel. And every engine today is expected to provide better performance and higher fuel economy while generating lower tailpipe emissions than did a comparable engine of just a few years ago. These changes put greater stress on the motor oil.

Through Shell Oil Company’s technical partnership with Ferrari, Pennzoil Ultra™ has been tested and engineered to clean and protect all engines, meeting and exceeding Ferrari’s most stringent standards.

The Hyper Cleansing Technology™ built into Pennzoil Ultra™ plays a critical role in the engine. The oil lubricates moving engine parts to reduce friction and power loss, and helps keep the engine clean by seeking out and dissolving contaminants safely into the oil before they form deposits in the engine.

The new Pennzoil Ultra™ motor oil is available in SAE 5W-20, 5W-30, 5W-40, 10W-30 and 10W-60 viscosities. Pennzoil Ultra™ 5W-20, 5W-30 and 10W-30 viscosities can be found in major automotive retailers nationwide. Pennzoil Ultra™ 5W-40 and 10W-60 viscosities can be found at retailers and installers servicing mostly European-manufactured cars or through Ferrari dealerships.
