2013 17%
2012 15%

That really shows Pennzoil taking a beating, losing 2/3 of their market share last year at quickie oil change shops.




This link, from last year, 2017 shows Pennzoil at the highest with 26%.
Valvoline at 19%
And Mobil at 15%

Havoline and Other also beat Mobil but no one's as high as Pennzoil.




The link you provided of conventional motor oil market share at fast lubes shows Pennzoil conventional motor oil at 26% in 2016, dropping to 18% market share in 2017. If you go back a few posts I had shown those figures already. Maybe you just misread the data: the data does not support your statement about Pennzoil being the 2017 leader (false) or Mobil being behind Other in that category (also false). Nothing from the conventional oil market refutes what I just posted about market share of synthetics either, but let's put that aside for now.

That same table of conventional, not synthetic, motor oil market share that you wanted me to look at, has Valvoline as 2017 market share leader at 19%; Pennzoil is in second place at 18%; Mobil is 15%, Havoline 14%, Castrol 11%, Other 11%, and "Don't offer conventional oil" at 4% in 2017.


Now back to synthetics: In synthetic oil market share in 2017 Mobil leads with 28%; Pennzoil is at 8%, tied with Other; Pennzoil also underperforms Castrol, Havoline and Valvoline.

You would think Pennzoil synthetic oils would perform higher in market share - especially against Havoline ?

The conversation I overheard at a Napa not near Maricopa was "We have Pennzoil Platinum on special this month, however I hate Pennzoil it's not a good oil, I like Mobil One it's a good oil, I will sell you Mobil One at a discount".

Pennzoil's yellow bottle is an icon.

Post a link from where you got your info.

https://www.statista.com/statistics...tic-motor-oils-in-fast-lubes-by-company/

Quote: "This statistic depicts the market share of synthetic motor oils in fast lubes in the United States from 2012 to 2017, distributed by top companies. In 2012, Pennzoil held a market share of 15 percent in the United States. In 2017, the share decreased to 8 percent."



Everytime I opened one of those links last night a popup appeared in short order and I wasn't able to look further.
That is why I posted a screenshot as I had only seconds before the popup showed up.

I didn't realize at the time the pic/info I posted was Pennzoil conventional?

I honestly don't think this is reflective of much. Places like Jiffy Lube and whoever, by the looks of things, chose the lowest bidder. Next year might be different or maybe the year after that, who knows?

Still owned by Shell or they sold them off ?
