In the news release, Kevin Harvick and Pennzoil To Launch National 'Clean
Change Campaign', issued July 3 by Pennzoil over PR Newswire, we are advised
by the company that the second paragraph, first sentence, should read "On July
3, 2008, Daytona 500 winner Kevin Harvick waved the green flag, kicking off
the Pennzoil Clean Change Campaign" rather than "Today, 2008 Daytona 500
winner Kevin Harvick" as originally issued inadvertently.
    Complete, corrected release follows:
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."
