Yeah I think thats as far as they got with that. Never seen or heard of them even making a batch of Ultra 0w20.
Considering that Ultra's 5w-20 Pour Point (-51C) is significantly lower then Platinum 0w-20 (-42) I think an Ultra 0w-20 would be crazy.
They have a TDS for Shell Helix Ultra 0w-20, alas, there is no telling if Pennzoil Ultra 0w-20 would be the same, if they ever decided to offer it...

Looks identical to PP 0w-20

Low temperature Pour Point in PU's Ultra line-up is at -51* while the PP Platinum is at -42*.
This tells me that PU likely uses more pure PAO or Group IV / V basestocks in their oil than PP (which MIGHT be saving money with Group III that doesn't flow as well).

or pour point depressants... or GTL group III+
not quite that cut and dry.
also pour point doesnt mean much.
15w40 can have a PP of -36c... wouldnt use it anywhere near that.
low temp.MRV is much more important

^ 0w20? I just bought PU as well, but it was 5w20.
As for Pennzoil's website - PU 0w20 is not listed as available.
