Caltex enhances Havoline Super 4T motorcycle oil
Caltex Havoline, marketed locally by Chevron Lubricants Lanka PLC, has launched an enhanced range of motorcycle engine oils across Asia, which will improve the performance of the region’s two-wheel vehicles.
The product has been upgraded to address the needs of the growing use of twowheelers in urban areas and covers the popular viscosity grades requested by both manufacturers and riders.
The new formula will benefit Sri Lanka’s large and fast-growing two-wheel vehicle population, which stood at four million units at end-2017.
Over the last few years, there has been a shift in the use of two-wheel vehicles from rural areas to urban roads, which has resulted in an increasing demand for better performing engine oil to deal with the heavy traffic conditions in the city.
It is a common fact that a cleaner engine runs more efficiently and hence delivers better overall performance and fuel efficiency. New Caltex Havoline motorcycle oils are formulated with C.O.R.E. technology and Zoomtech booster for enhanced performance, containing a motorcyclespecific formulation, which combines high quality base oils with a tailored additive package to deliver excellent engine performance and reliability for all riding conditions.
Havoline C.O.R.E. Technology delivers four key benefits: cleans and protects – for a more efficient and better performing engine; oxidation stability – to provide heat protection against oil degradation; reduces engine heat damage – to deliver superior oil stability for continuous protection and enhances acceleration – for improved clutch grip under high loads
The newly launched Caltex Havoline 4T motorcycle oil range powered by Zoomtech booster, delivers a 13 percent improvement compared to the old formulation to enhance acceleration. Oils formulated with Zoomtech improve clutch grip for better power transfer, to enhance acceleration at a twist of the throttle. The product can be used in air- and liquid-cooled four-stroke motorcycle engines, motorcycles with back torque limiters, motorcycles with exhaust catalytic converters and motorcycles with combined engine and transmission units or separate gearboxes where a multi-grade JASO MA or JASO MA2 engine oil is specified.
In Sri Lanka, Caltex Havoline Super 4T is offered in 10W30, 20W40 and 20W50 viscosity grades to facilitate the customers to use the correct OEM recommended viscosity grade.
The relaunch of Caltex Havoline Super 4T is supported by Chevron’s regional ‘Ride Strong’ campaign, communicated via Above the Line, Below the Line and digital media to create awareness.
“It is customer focused innovation that separates us from the competition. The enhancements made to our range of superior engine oils will ensure Sri Lankan riders have smoother and worryfree rides, through the better performance of the engines,” said Caltex Sri Lanka Head of Marketing Eenaz Salie.
