Castrol launches all-new BS-VI ready MAGNATEC engine oils
Castrol, India’s leading lubricant brand, 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, which provides SUVs with proven protection from heavy-load wear. 
Post India’s migration to the latest BS-VI emission norms, more cars and SUVs are fitted with after-treatment devices such as diesel/gasoline particulate filters (DPF/GPF) that are sensitive to sulphated ash, phosphorus, and sulphur (SAPS) content. 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. 
The all-new range of Castrol MAGNATEC will be available in four variants, 0W-16, 0W-20, 5W-30 and 5W-40, and will help meet automotive OEMs recommendations for thinner grade lubricants such as 0W or 5W. Each of the variants is based on Castrol’s unique DUALOCK technology that reduces engine wear by 50 per cent (as tested versus Sequence IVA API SN and CEC OM646LA ACEA wear limits).
Welcoming the launch of the new Castrol MAGNATEC range, Jaya Jamrani, Vice President, Marketing, Castrol India, said, “Castrol has always strived to deliver best-in-class products that provide unmatched performance and protection to vehicles.
