While in my local WM last week I noticed they had started stocking the shelves with the new yellow bottles. They also made a REDUCED PRICE section for the out dated older containers of Pennzoil. My cousin bought (3) 5 qt. containers of 5W30 PYB @ $10 each!
I like the new containers. The handle on the side is a game changer. It makes it much easier to pour the oil.

Good Morning BlueOvalFilter

This Wal Mart hasn't started marking down the old style jugs yet but I'm optimistic. I did nab a ST-3614 filter though

I saw the new Pennzoil conventional ones today. I can say I can live with that. The Platinum and HM versions posted here? Well, I'm not so sure.

Seems like they are making sure that someone who wants "Pennzoil" can easily find "Pennzoil"

Now, if you want a specific kind of Pennzoil, you are going to have to sit there and read every label.

How many spouses do you suppose are going to get in trouble because they were asked to get some type of Pennzoil while they were in town and got the wrong one because they all look the same?

Wonder if they bought stock in sleeveless shirts before making the move on this.....

Nope, no foil seal on the new design. I just changed my oil last week using Platinum in the new yellow 5qt jug.

The new terminology will require an FAQ.
PYBBC = Pennzoil Yellow Bottle Black Cap
PYBSCP = Pennzoil Yellow Bottle Silver Cap Platinum
PYBSCHM = Pennzoil Yellow Bottle Silver Cap High Milage
PYBSCUP = Pennzoil Yellow Bottle Silver Cap Ultra Platinum


Why not:

PYL - Pennzoil Yellow Label (formerly PYB)
PGL - Pennzoil Gold Label
PRL - Pennzoil Red Label


... and of course, PP and PUP.

Is the Pennzoil ULTRA plat still hard to find for you guys, I can never find the stuff??

Old bottle was not silver; it was... Platinum...
I go to Walmart and frequently there are 5-qt bottles but no quart bottles of the same product. As my oil change takes 6 quarts, this is inconvenient. I wonder how many sales they miss because of this?
Anyway my most recent change was 5 qt new yellow jug (Walmart) + 1 qt old platinum jug (from another store).

I bought 2 of the 5 quart jugs of the Platinum 5w20 in the new yellow jugs today at my local Walmart to use in my wife's Dodge Journey. It was on end aisle sale; IIRC, it was priced $22.37 per jug. I didn't know Pennzoil changed the color of the jugs for PP, so I had to look twice at the labels to make sure I was actually buying PP.

I thought it was PYB conventional at first, and I was alarmed at the higher than usual price.

In short: New bottles, new labels, same oil with a 4 year shelf-life, and you don't need to shake before using.

Old habits are hard to shake

PYBGC
PENNZOIL Gold
I wish the SOPUS guys would give us some information on this stuff. It looks pretty good for a blend. How does stuff match up with Valvoline Durablend and Motorcraft Synthetic Blend?
