KUALA LUMPUR: Petronas Lubricant Marketing Malaysia (PLMM) has introduced a new range of Petronas Synthium lubricants with CoolTech technology, the latest ‘track-to-road” technology’ engine lubricants to-date by Petronas.

The new range also included the first ever engine oil for hybrid cars.

Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport’s Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton said: “Petronas Syntium plays such a crucial role in the cooling of our engines and supports us in achieving results on track.

“The teamwork between our technical organisations has been outstanding, and it’s reassuring to know that we have the best and most reliable fluids for our engines. It makes it easier to stay focused on our ultimate goal and achieve the best result for the team on the race track.

CoolTech lubricants is formulated to fight against excessive engine heat for better engine performance and efficiency.

The range comprises the premium low-viscosity PETRONAS Syntium 7000 Ultimate Series featuring PETRONAS Syntium 7000 Hybrid with CoolTech, the company’s first oil for hybrid engines, marking PLMM’s entry into the fast-expanding hybrid vehicle market.

“The new range stands to capture the growing market as we tap into a previously underserved, cutting-edge segment.

“Coupled with our experience in working with the best in motorsports, the Formula One race, we have developed a formulation that focuses on optimising engine performance for both gas fuel and hybrid vehicles,” said Petronas Dagangan Bhd managing director and CEO Datuk Seri Syed Zainal Abidin Syed Mohamed Tahir.

Syed Zainal is also Petronas vice president, marketing downstream business.

He said the CoolTech technology has been developed to help cool critical engine parts so that the machine can run efficiently even when under pressure.

“Today, we are pleased to bring this technology developed from the track to Malaysian roads to benefit our everyday drivers,” he added.
