Castrol India elevates its flagship products in two and four-wheeler segments to full synthetic

Castrol India Limited, a leading lubricant manufacturer focused on delivering high-performance solutions for evolving mobility trends, today announced two new full synthetic addition to its two- and four-wheeler engine oil range, setting a new benchmark for the Indian lubricants market. With this transition, Castrol India becomes a segment disruptor, bringing full synthetic technology to mass segments.

As part of this transition, the Castrol Activ and Castrol GTX range will now get upgraded to full synthetic formulations across key viscosities.

Speaking about the launch, Kaushik Vedula, VP Marketing, Castrol India Limited, said, "At Castrol, we closely track how consumer needs and mobility patterns are evolving. We respond with advanced lubricant technologies designed to keep pace with these changes. The launch of Castrol Activ Full Synthetic in two wheelers and the full synthetic upgrade of Castrol GTX in four wheelers mark an important step in the evolution of our portfolio. Together, they help bring the advantages of full synthetic technology to a wider base of riders and drivers.

As engines evolve and everyday driving conditions become more demanding, lubricants are required to perform at a higher level. By transitioning Castrol Activ and Castrol GTX to full synthetic, we are enabling stronger engine protection and more consistent performance in real world usage, making advanced engine care more accessible for Indian consumers."

In the two-wheeler segment, the company has introduced Castrol Activ Full Synthetic 10W-30 and Castrol Activ Full Synthetic 5W-30, to its flagship Castrol Activ range. Thus, expanding its offering for modern motorcycles. The existing viscosities, including 20W-40, will continue to be available. The new range of Castrol Activ delivers 20% improved protection across the engine, clutch and gearbox, to ensure a smoother ride for everyday commuters.

The launch is rooted in the evolving consumer insights that show younger riders placing greater emphasis on riding quality and consistency in daily commuting. Attributes such as quicker pickup, smoother acceleration, and reduced engine vibrations are increasingly influencing purchase decisions, beyond basic engine protection. This shift calls for higher-specification lubricants that can deliver both performance and everyday reliability, supporting the demand of 'Smooth Ride, Smooth Life'.

The launch also coincides with the silver jubilee year of Castrol Activ, marking an important milestone for one of the company's flagship brands.

In the personal-car segment, Castrol GTX 5W-30 has been upgraded to Castrol GTX Full Synthetic 5W-30, alongside the introduction of Castrol GTX Full Synthetic 0W-20, to strengthen Castrol's presence in the fast-growing low-viscosity segment. The new GTX full-synthetic range is designed to deliver a cleaner engine and better deposit control, while giving customers more value for their money. This adds to the existing premium range of full-synthetic oil in Castrol's four-wheeler portfolio which includes Castrol MAGNATEC, a preferred engine oil for SUVs delivering up to 50% better wear protection, and Castrol EDGE that is engineered for up to 30% improved on-demand performance. Together, these products are designed to support smoother engine performance and improved reliability across varying driving conditions, consumer demands and evolving fuel needs like E20.

The entire range will be available across Castrol India's extensive distribution network of over 150,000 retail outlets nationwide as well as on the company's online stores on Amazon and Flipkart.
