Yes. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we believe a good oil goes beyond lubricating your engine. That's why we trust Pennzoil motor oils for all of our synthetic oil changes. After 40 years and 3,500 patents, Pennzoil Platinum became the first motor oil made entirely from natural gas.

All the research and development poured into Pennzoil Synthetics is meant to help keep your engine running cleaner and longer, and provide complete protection from wear and friction than any other leading synthetic oil.**
