Castrol has launched Castrol GTX ECO, the first ‘Eco’ product in its GTX range for cars. The GTX ECO provides the same protection that can help to extend engine life but by using re-refined oil, it delivers a 10 per cent reduction.
Castrol GTX ECO uses an innovative base oil blend of 50 per cent virgin oil and 50 per cent re-refined oil. A rigorous re-refining process includes dewatering, defueling, demineralisation, vacuum distillation and distillate treatment. Castrol GTX additive technology is then used to fortify the oil to create a high performance product that can help to extend engine life but with 10 per cent less CO2 produced from the oil’s life cycle. This carbon reduction was verified after rigorous testing, and analysis by the world’s leading sustainability consultants, ERM.
