I would love to try the new Pennzoil but I didn't see a truck and SUV oil.

Plus the errors on their PDS sheets. Great products in spite...
These oils have already came and gone, they were on clearance at AAP at the beginning of the summer. They never made it to shelves in most stores from what I have seen.
Maybe @GenaFishbeck can provide some further insight into the whearabouts of these oils?
But GTL is the only distinguishing feature between Pennzoil and the other name brand oils! They have to ring that bell constantly!
My only issue with the GTL is their fully formulated oils tend to shear more than some others. Since they have a surplus of 3 cSt (and not 4 cSt and 6 cSt) I have speculated they may be asking the 3 cSt Base to do to much and as such require more VII.

Well, they might. The whole battle might just be shelf space at Walmart and auto stores more than targeting specific customers. I'd bet it is a far more complicated equation than we know. Of course, none of them saw Covid coming, but rather were banking on the strong economy continuing, which it would likely have done.
Then again, history is littered with motor oil marketing misfires.

I thought someone posted about these oils last year. Marketing at it's finest.
Next thing someone will market is oil that doesn't require a filter change and charge $4.99 more a jug for it. ;-)

I wonder what this stuff is?
That one kind of snuck in without anyone here noticing. Top Off Full Synthetic? Really?

What a calf scramble
Oh, I noticed, but I thought it was a joke at first.
So I googled it, and turns out Pennzoil trademarked it last year.
Please don't.
Edit: I can think of one or two ways to market a "Top Off" product. Though I don't think SOPUS would go there...

If I had a GDI that consumes oil ? Think I’d top off with SAE30 to offset diluted oil …Oh, I noticed, but I thought it was a joke at first.

Shell had those Helix Top Up bottles in loud red for some time: https://www.shell.de/autofahrer/engine-oils-and-lubricants/helix/top-up.html
I never felt the furor teutonicus that some immediately needed to organize when the first ads for them appeared over here. Nothing wrong about trying to establish red bottles at fuel stations in my view.
