Kevin Harvick and Pennzoil to Launch National 'Clean Change Campaign'

National Awareness Campaign Promotes Recycling Used Motor Oil to Help Keep Our

Drinking Water Clean

HOUSTON, July 3 PRNewswire-USNewswire — An old adage states clearly that "oil and water don't mix," and Pennzoil wants to make sure do-it-yourself oil changers see to this literally by raising awareness of the need to recycle used oil. That's because improperly disposing of the used oil from just one oil change can contaminate one million gallons of drinking water.

On July 3, 2008, Daytona 500 winner Kevin Harvick waved the green flag, kicking off the Pennzoil Clean Change Campaign — a nationwide campaign encouraging do-it-yourself oil changers to properly clean-up by recycling their used oil and pledge to maintain a clean environment. The kick-off event took place in Daytona in the midst of all of the pre-race excitement at a local Wal-Mart Tire and Lube Express.

"Each week when I step out of the No. 29 car after the race is finished, the first thing I reach for is water," said Harvick. "I know first-hand how important clean water is to our health. I'm proud to be teaming up with Pennzoil to help our water stay clean and promote steps we can all take to help protect our environment."

The root of the Pennzoil Clean Change Campaign is a pledge that Do-It-Yourself oil changers are encouraged to make to commit to staying clean by continuing to properly recycle used motor oil. Consumers can visit the campaign web site www.cleanchange.org to make the pledge, test their environmental prowess with a challenging quiz, and easily locate the certified used oil recycling facility nearest them.

"We know that Pennzoil motor oil helps clean up sludge in engines, so helping keep America's drinking water clean by promoting used oil recycling seemed an appropriate way for us to make a difference," says Kris Hull, Pennzoil Brand Manager. "We thank Wal-Mart for helping us implement this campaign around the country and do our part to help the environment."
