“Castrol amat berbangga dengan perjalanan CAS selama dua dekad yang lalu.

“CAS kini mempunyai lebih daripada 500 bengkel, suatu jumlah yang jauh lebih besar berbanding hanya 3 bengkel pada 2002, dan berada pada landasan yang betul bagi melancarkan lebih banyak lagi bengkel CAS di masa depan.

“Kami sangat berterima kasih kepada mekanik kami yang sentiasa setia bersama-sama dengan kami dalam meraikan kejayaan dan kemajuan Castrol Malaysia.

“Kami komited untuk membawakan lebih banyak lagi inisiatif dan usaha bagi menyokong para pengedar kami,” kata Pengarah Pemasaran Castrol Malaysia & Singapura, Keow Mei-Shan.

Dengan kepercayaan yang diberikan terhadap kemampuan CAS, 60 bengkel telah pun beroperasi lebih lima tahun manakala 30 peratus telah berkhidmat lebih sedekad.

Sepanjang perkhidmatan, terdapat beberapa program yang telah berlangsung dengan jayanya bagi meraikan mekanik dan pelanggan antaranya kempen Servis & Menang CAS, pertandingan Castrol Cars Super Mechanic serta Forum & Makan Malam Penghargaan CAS.

Bukan itu sahaja, sebagai penghargaan kepada komuniti mekanik, Castrol turut mengadakan Castrol Hari Mekanik Malaysia (HMM) sejak 2019 dengan semua bengkel CAS aktif terlibat.

Menariknya, tahun 2022 menyaksikan HMM menjalinkan kerjasama dengan liga bola sepak popular EPL bagi menghangatkan lagi sambutan.

“Pelanggan kami adalah sebahagian besar daripada perjalanan kami, dan kami ingin mengucapkan terima kasih kepada mereka kerana sentiasa bersama-sama dengan kami selama ini.

“Dengan rancangan untuk meluaskan lagi rangkaian CAS, kami tidak sabar untuk melihat komuniti ini berkembang menjadi lebih komprehensif dan erat supaya kita dapat terus memberikan pengalaman yang hebat secara keseluruhannya kepada para pelanggan kami,” tambah Mei-Shan.

New Castrol Activ with Improved Actibond Launched

Lubrication systems in modern engines provides sufficient lubrication.
However, most engine damage occurs during start up.
Castrol Activ aims to provide lubrication during all stages of engine operation.

Car drivers should be familiar with a Castrol product called Magnetec. The engine lubricant is infused with a formulation that clings to engine parts (hence “magnet”) even after you turn off the engine, thus protecting it when restarted. But Magnetec is for cars and lubricants for cars and motorcycle engines are different (click here to find out why they are different). Castrol aims to achieve the same for motorcycle engines with the new Castrol Activ lubricant.

Lubrication systems in modern engines do provide sufficient lubrication while running, but the oil will drain back down into the sump a few minutes after stopping the engine (that’s why we check the oil level with the engine off after running it for a few minutes). Therefore, there’s hardly any oil when we restart the engine, although almost all good lubricants will leave a layer a micron thick on the surfaces it lubricated before. But it depends if that layer breaks down at engine start. Besides that, most new engines have parts with coatings that trap some oil – usually the piston rings, piston skirts and cylinder bores – while other parts do not.

That is why, contrary to popular belief, most engine damage actually occurs during start up, not when fully running.

The new lubricant is fortified with improved Actibond molecules, that cling to critical engine parts through all stages of riding.

Keow Mei-Shan, Marketing Director for Castrol Malaysia and Singapore explained, “Modern riding conditions demand a lot from riders and their motorcycles. There can be at least 10 million instances per month where a motorcycle engine could get damaged simply whilst running. In fact, a motorcycle requires continuous protection not just whilst riding but also during start up and even when the engine is off. The new formulation of Castrol Activ has Improved Actibonds that provide continuous protection during start up, riding and even when the engine is switched off. Overall, new Castrol Activ promises Castrol’s Best Continuous Protection ever for motorcycles.”

Castrol Activ is able to protect your motorcycle’s engine through all three stages of operation:

During start up – Most engine wear occurs during warm up, just after start. The improved Actibond molecules reduces warm up wear by 75 thereby reducing wear and tear of vital engine parts.
During riding – The improved Actibond molecules fights deposits and provides superior engine cleanliness, to help ensure smooth running and reduce piston wear.
During engine switch off – By clinging on to engine parts even when the engine is switched off, Castrol Activ provides excellent protection against corrosion which may occur due to humidity.

We came across this Castrol Activ TVC from India, so please take a peek.

Castrol Activ meets API SL and JASO MA2 specifications. It is available in 1 litre bottles at Castrol Bike Points, motorcycle workshops and retailers throughout Malaysia at the price of RM23.50 for Peninsular Malaysia and RM24.20 for East Malaysia.
