Petronas ties up with Maruti Suzuki to supply lubricants

Malaysia-based lubricants maker Petronas has tied up with the country's largest car maker Maruti Suzuki India Ltd (MSIL) to supply customised lubricants for diesel vehicles.
Through this partnership, Petronas would gain access to Maruti Suzuki's entire sales and service network besides also supplying its products in the bazaar trade, according to a release issued here today.
The tie-up would also give Petronas a huge reach since Maruti Suzuki has the largest network in the country with a total of more than 3,100 service outlets across India, the release said.
Petronas' customised lubricant, MGDO 5W40 is formulated for the latest generation of diesel engines and is especially designed for full service life in extended drain conditions, the release said.

According to the company, the lubricant minimises oil thickening at very high operating temperatures, besides wear and tear which prolongs engine life as well as optimises the engine's performance besides minimises friction.
