MAKE SURE TO ADD PROMO when you order it thru Walmart. [FAST30]. THANKS kenmikec!
So in the end, you will be paying $[51.94 + Tax] - [$10 Walmart Promo] - [$20 Gift card from Pennzoil promotion after around 6-8 weeks]
I confirmed with their rebate team thru phone call, that purchases made from Walmart is fine even with pickup and delivery as long as you can provide order number and invoice after the purchase. They checked my form during the phone call and confirmed everything was fine then moved it to final review after the phone call. If you are curious, you can give them a call yourself, 1-888-232-5988 during operational hour.
Update: Mine got approved in same day i made a call. I can safely say, p/u order from Walmart.com works as long as you provide invoice number and purchased from Walmart, not 3rd party.
Update2: Applied on 8/7, called 8/8, then got my code on 8/21!
Community Reviews
Pennzoil Platinum 5W 20 is being treated as a value play only if the rebate clears, since the oil itself has climbed in price and the final out of pocket can still be attractive. The strongest upside is the rebate path, with Walmart in store and pickup purchases reportedly approved when the seller is Walmart and an invoice number is provided. The main snag is that pickup and online receipts have also been rejected, and using Walmart cash or a gift card can trigger auto rejection. There is also ongoing concern about Pennzoil formula and label changes, which makes this a cautious buy for shoppers who want the older GTL based version.
Common Questions (5)
Pennzoil Platinum packaging and formulation have changed over time: older jugs mention "Made from Natural Gas," newer ones say "Made with Natural Gas," and Pennzoil says some Platinum formulations now use a blend of GTL and non-GTL base oils. Pennzoil Ultra Platinum is stated to remain unchanged in GTL percentage.
A Walmart.com pickup order has been approved in some cases when the seller was Walmart and the invoice number was submitted, but other claims were rejected as online purchases. If you try it, keep the invoice and be ready to call Pennzoil support to have the claim reviewed.
Pennzoil support said Walmart purchases can qualify even with pickup or delivery if the seller is Walmart and you can provide the invoice number. The key caveat is that items sold on Walmart.com itself may be treated as online orders and rejected, so in-store purchases are the safest path.
Yes. The rebate lookup can fail when Walmart Cash or a gift card is used, because the system matches the receipt using the last four digits of the payment method; using a single credit or debit card is the safest way to avoid an auto-rejection.
The promo code can fail at checkout and show a message that you must add $35.00 to the cart before it applies. That means the cart total likely does not meet the promo's minimum requirement at that moment.

Valvoline Restore and Protect **may** be a good alternative now.
"Are Pennzoil Platinum and Pennzoil Ultra Platinum still made with natural gas? Do they still use GTL base oils?
Yes. Pennzoil Platinum and Pennzoil Ultra Platinum are made with GTL technology and base oils. We remain focused on delivering the high-quality lubricants our customers expect, with products that continue to meet the claims, specifications, and approvals on our product labels and brand websites. Customers should refer to product labels and brand websites for the most current information.
In response to supply constraints affecting portions of the lubricants supply chain, Shell has implemented measures intended to help support product availability. As part of these efforts, alternate formulations have been introduced for select products.
- We have NOT altered our Pennzoil Ultra Platinum formulations, which continue to contain the same percentage of GTL base oil.
- To help support product availability, we are using alternate formulations for Pennzoil Platinum and Pennzoil Platinum High Mileage products. These formulations now use a blend of GTL base oil and high-quality non-GTL base oils and continue to meet the claims, specifications, and approvals stated on our product labels and brand websites.
Pennzoil continues to provide information regarding the use of natural gas and gas-to-liquid (GTL) technology on our website. Customers should refer to those sources for the most current product information.Why did Pennzoil change some packaging language from "Made From Natural Gas" to "Made With Natural Gas"?
Pennzoil periodically reviews and updates its product packaging and marketing language.
In 2024, Pennzoil updated the language from "Made From Natural Gas" to "Made With Natural Gas" to more clearly describe how natural gas is used in the formulation. "Made With" more accurately reflects that natural-gas-derived GTL base oil is used in combination with other components, such as high-performance additives, to create the finished motor oil. Products continue to meet the claims, specifications, and approvals stated on their packaging and our brand
