Is this the same oil or am I mistaken??

Thanks!
This is a late reply but only now I've learned the difference between the two. Although they may technically be the same oil, one is marketed before 2018 and another after 2018. After 2018, Pennzoil has an additional test standard that designates their oil with the SN PLUS label which is a further designation indicating it is better for turbocharged GDI engines such as ours in preventing LSPI (low speed pre ignition) which could be devastating for the health of our engines. Now the two oils may in fact be identical but personally I feel more at ease using an oil with the SN PLUS label....also as of May of this year watch for a further enhancement in engine oil standards with the new label of GF-6 which is also a better standard for our turbocharged GDI engines. Hope this helps with any confusion
