Pennzoil has been named the “Favorite Motor Oil Brand” in Popular Mechanics magazine’s Readers’ Choice Awards. More than 10,000 Popular Mechanics readers, including automotive enthusiasts, participated in the 2010 survey to determine readers’ favorite consumer products across more than 30 categories. Among the brands included in the survey, Pennzoil was voted as the preferred motor oil brand.

“We congratulate Pennzoil for winning this award for the first time,” said Bill Congdon, Publisher, Popular Mechanics. “Our readers are knowledgeable consumers who are savvy when it comes to their automobiles, and their influence is felt in garages and gas stations nationwide. They demand quality and performance in any product they buy, and they advise others to do the same.”
