CASTROL MAGNATEC: NON-STOP PROTECTION FROM EVERY START

Traffic congestion has increased significantly over the past decade. That's annoying, but worse, it slowly damages your engine - permanently.

To respond to increasingly urbanised environments, we developed Castrol MAGNATEC with patented DUALOCK technology, Castrol's unique MAGNATEC DUALOCK technology is a world first. The molecules cling to critical engine parts and lock together to protect the engine against warm-up wear and stop-start wear. This forms a powerful force-field of protection reducing both warm-up wear and stop-start wear, each by 50%*.


CASTROL MAGNATEC: CLINGING MOLECULES, REINVENTED

Castrol MAGNATEC with DUALOCK technology uses the combination of two different protective molecules. They lock together at the surface to create a powerful force-field of protection, leading to dramatic reduction of both warm-up and stop-start wear.

A WORLD FIRST - DUALOCK TECHNOLOGY REDUCES ENGINE WEAR BY 50%

IT'S AN INCREASINGLY URBANISED WORLD

Traffic congestion has increased dramatically over the past decade. It is getting more severe and more challenging - for drivers, their engines, and their engine oil. Today, even a normal driver can stop and start up to 18,000 times a year**. That's annoying, but worse, it slowly damages the engine - permanently.

Constant decelerating, idling and accelerating increases microscopic engine wear, with metal fragments worn from the surfaces of critical engine parts, turning into damaging wear particles.

CASTROL DUALOCK TECHNOLOGY

To respond to this changing environment, we have developed Castrol MAGNATEC's DUALOCK technology It is a result of over 10 years of research and development by Castrol's technologists in partnership with one of the world's leading universities. Castrol DUALOCK technology uses the combination of warm-up wear molecules and stop-start wear molecules. They lock together at the molecular level to form a powerful force-field of protection.

WARM-UP WEAR MOLECULES

50% less warm-up wear*
The original intelligent molecules still cling to critical engine parts to protect against warm-up wear

STOP-START WEAR MOLECULES

50% less stop-start wear*
The new molecule clings to protect against stop-start wear.

DRAMATIC REDUCTION IN ENGINE WEAR

Our breakthrough Castrol MAGNATEC DUALOCK molecules form a powerful force-field of protection that dramatically reduces both warm-up and stop-start wear - by 50%*.

Castrol MAGNATEC with DUALOCK technology is designed for non-stop protection from every start in today's busy driving conditions.

* Tested vs the API SN wear limit in the Sequence IVA test, and the ACEA wear limit in the OM646LA test

CASTROL MAGNATEC STOP-START: BUSY DRIVING, REINVENTED

Castrol MAGNATEC STOP-START with DUALOCK technology has been designed to provide non-stop protection and improved fuel economy from every start.

Even for vehicles with the latest stop-start technology.

NEW CHALLENGE: TRAFFIC CONGESTION

Traffic congestion has increased dramatically over the past decade, causing engine wear and wasting fuel. It is getting more severe and more challenging - for drivers, their engines, and their engine oil. Constant decelerating, idling and accelerating increases microscopic engine wear, with metal fragments worn from the surfaces of critical engine parts, turning into damaging wear particles. All cars, even those with the latest stop-start engine technology, don't perform at their best in such conditions.

ENGINE WEAR REDUCTION AND IMPROVED FUEL ECONOMY

To ensure that the engines with the latest stop-start technology perform at their best, Castrol MAGNATEC STOP-START combines DUALOCK molecules with our most efficient fully synthetic base oils. This unique combination dramatically reduces engine wear by 50%" and improves fuel economy. It has also been successfully tested in hybrids.

Castrol MAGNATEC STOP-START offers non-stop protection and improved fuel economy** from every start, even for vehicles with the latest stop-start engine technology.
