India’s leading lubricant brand Castrol announced the launch of its latest range of Castrol MAGNATEC, featuring India’s widest offering of BS-VI-ready engine oils for cars and SUVs. The new range also features India’s first 0W-16 engine oil for retail aftermarkets and the all-new Castrol MAGNATEC SUV that provides SUVs with proven protection from heavy-load wear.
The new Castrol MAGNATEC has reduced SAPS content and is BS-VI ready as per industry specifications of ACEA C2/C3. It also meets API requirements to control the problem of low-speed pre-ignition (LSPI) in gasoline direct injection (GDI) and turbocharged GDI engines. Each of the variants is based on Castrol’s unique DUALOCK technology that reduces engine wear by 50%. The all-new range of Castrol MAGNATEC will be available in four variants, 0W-16, 0W-20, 5W-30, and 5W-40.
The Vice President of Marketing of Castrol India Jaya Jamrani said, “Castrol has led the industry move towards BS-VI compatible lubricants. The new, fully synthetic Castrol MAGNATEC range is designed for BS-VI engines, but is also backward compatible with many older applications.”
