Castrol's latest innovation - MAGNATEC STOP-START engine oil

With each given day, technology seems to re-invent itself in almost all sphere's of life. World renowned lubricant producer Castrol have today launched an innovative solution to take care of your engine life even during stop start driving situations.

“Not many people know that stop-start driving can result in additional engine wear. At Castrol, we have spent thousands of hours in the laboratory and in partnership with one of the world’s greatest universities, developing an engine oil that specifically protects engine parts against the wear of stop-start driving”, said Soma Ghosh, Vice President-Marketing, Castrol India.

Developed specifically to elongate the life of an engine during normal course of time, the lubricant comprises of intelligent molecules that cling on to critical parts of the engine and form a self-healing layer of protection. Its functioning states that just in case these molecules get removed in the process of fighting wear, the remaining ones rush in to restore the protective layer. As a result of the process, critical engine components are therefore protected at each stage of stop-start driving. This method is applicable from the very first start, to the very last stop, and every stop-start in between which ensures a hassle life your engine.

Milind Vaidya, India Technology Manager commented, “We have developed Castrol MAGNATEC STOP-START in response to a genuine issue on thousands of roads across the globe. Data from the Castrol MAGNATEC STOP-START Index, powered by Tom Tom shows that on an average, drivers stop and start their cars over 18,000 times a year. India’s traffic congestion in main urban areas is something that is experienced daily, with stop-start driving a feature of people’s everyday commute. Castrol MAGNATEC STOP-START is the ideal lubricant to provide the right protection for car engines in these conditions.”
