Castrol Malaysia New Initiative Aims To Enhance Road Safety For Young Riders

Castrol Malaysia has unveiled its latest initiative, the “Castrol Back to School” program, aimed at raising road safety awareness among young motorcyclists. This comprehensive program highlights Castrol’s dedication to safeguarding lives on the road and advocating safety and protection.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), one in three road fatalities in Southeast Asia involves motorcyclists. From 2010 to 2019, the Malaysia Road Fatalities Index reported that 59% of fatalities were associated with motorcyclists. These statistics underscore the pressing need for a robust road safety campaign that starts with education and empowerment.

In collaboration with MotoWazi and with the support of the Ministry of Education, the “Castrol Back to School” program is tailored for high school students aged 16 and 17 who have recently acquired their motorcycle licenses. The program encompasses both theoretical and practical road safety sessions, which are conducted within school premises during regular school hours.

“Road safety is a shared responsibility. Through the ‘Castrol Back to School’ program, Castrol aims to instil a culture of safety among young motorcyclists, emphasising that protection begins with making the right choices, including the selection of Castrol lubricants for their motorcycles. We aim to equip young riders with the knowledge and skills they need to remain safe on the road,” expressed Keow Mei-shan, Marketing Director of Castrol Malaysia and Singapore.

Wazi Bin Abdul Hamid, a motorcycle safety instructor and road safety expert, will oversee the theoretical sessions, ensuring that students receive valuable insights into road safety practices and regulations. The MotoWazi team is enthusiastic about this partnership and its potential impact on young riders.

“We are delighted to collaborate with Castrol on this initiative. Our objective is to empower young motorcyclists with the knowledge and awareness necessary to protect themselves and others on the road,” stated Wazi Bin Abdul Hamid.

In its initial phase, the “Castrol Back to School” program will be introduced to ten schools in the Klang Valley from September to October 2023. Castrol’s plan is to extend this program to fifty schools across the nation in 2024, with the ultimate goal of creating a safer road environment for all Malaysians.

The “Castrol Back to School” program is more than just an educational campaign; it signifies Castrol’s unwavering commitment to safety. This initiative not only associates Castrol with road safety but also fosters a culture of protection, emphasizing that when it comes to road safety, one can always “Think protection, think Castrol.”

5 Reason The New CASTROL POWER1 ULTIMATE Should Be Your Go-To Engine Oil

We are not going to lie, there’s tonnes of motorcycle engine oil products available in the market right now. Choosing one is as difficult as choosing a life partner.

So we are here to help you sort out the mess by recommending a newly improved CASTROL POWER1 ULTIMATE engine oil.

You might think that this is just another paid article and we have no choice but to only talk about the good stuff.

Frankly, we can only focus on the good stuff since it’s just so good! No joke, this is some really cool, good stuff right here.

So here are the 5 reasons the new CASTROL POWER1 ULTIMATE should be the go-to engine oil for your bike.

Excellent Acceleration

Let’s be honest, we always hope that the engine oil we use could at least improve acceleration to some extent, despite it not being meant for that particular purpose.

Well, interestingly enough the Castrol POWER1 ULTIMATE does just that as it has been proven through data to exceed the performance of other lubricants, and this claim has been tested using Honda CBR300 engine over a 30 second full throttle acceleration.

Excellent Protection

The main purpose of a lubricant is to protect the engine, if it’s unable to do that well we suggest just throw it away (properly of course, never down a drain).

Engine oil protects engine surfaces, reduces friction and heat when it comes into contact with each other.

Reduced friction ultimately results in less wear and tear of engine parts, resulting in lower cost of maintenance and repairs.

The CASTROL POWER1 ULTIMATE fully synthetic oil provides 50% better wear protection versus industry limits! If that is not cool, we are not sure what is.

Smooth Riding

When it comes to engine oils, nothing rings truer than the saying, “Good things are not cheap, and cheap things are not good”.

Engine lubricants by any means are not cheap (we are talking about the top quality ones) thus you might feel cheated if the end result is not up to your standard.

But good lubricants are expensive simply because of the amount of research and development that has been poured into developing a particular product, ensuring its end product will perform and provide the necessary protection and performances needed every time, all the time.

With consistent protection and performance in place, you’ll be assured that your ride will be smoother as the CASTROL POWER1 ULTIMATE enables smooth clutch engagement.

Keeps Engine Cool

Ever wonder why it is easier to breathe in colder climates than warmer ones? Your engine feels the same way too.

The difference of a few degrees results in better performance and fuel efficiency. To the rider, it’s a difference he can feel from the seat, making him more comfortable and worry less about performance and whether the engine is fully protected.

The CASTROL POWER1 ULTIMATE stood against an extreme 12,000km test, hence demonstrating a brilliant temperature control performance.

Enduring Performance

A good engine oil shouldn’t rob your engine of its power.

A top notch lubricant should have good viscosity and flow properties, to help eliminate frictional losses.

The CASTROL POWER1 ULTIMATE maintains 95% of its original performance after enduring a 48,000km race track durability test, thus showcasing enduring performance capabilities.

The riders will feel that the engine has a better revving especially when the throttle is open.

Now you might wonder, “How much is this going to cost me?”.

Frankly, we think the benefits will outweigh its price tag over the maintenance and repair cost in the long run as well as improved performance and enhanced ride experience by a large factor especially if this engineered liquid is going into the heart and soul of your dream bike.

Last but not least, do remember to check out the CASTROL POWER1 ULTIMATE at your nearest Castrol Bike Point or you can just get them HERE at Castrol Official Store in Shopee.

5 Sebab Kami Rekomen CASTROL POWER1 ULTIMATE Waktu Servis Motosikal

Hakikatnya memang bersepah minyak enjin motosikal dalam pasaran, termasuklah minyak enjin tiruan yang MEMANG memeningkan kepala.

Jadi, untuk memudahkan ‘korang’ semua dan tak payah nak pening kepala, kami dengan berlagaknya rekomen minyak enjin sintetik penuh CASTROL POWER1 ULTIMATE.

Ini lima (sebab) kami rekomen gila-gila CASTROL POWER1 ULTIMATE.

Pecutan Mantap

Setiap kali tukar minyak hitam baharu, mesti ‘korang’ berharap yang kuda kesayangan akan pergi lebih laju sedangkan itu bukan fungsi utama sesebuah minyak enjin.

Tapi lain pula kisahnya bagi CASTROL POWER1 ULTIMATE yang terbukti meningkatkan prestasi enjin berbanding minyak enjin jenama lain berdasarkan ujian yang dijalankan pada enjin Honda CBR300 (pecutan penuh selama 30 saat).

Perlindungan Terbaik

‘Korang’ dah tentunya tahu fungsi utama minyak pelincir adalah melindungi enjin tapi macam-mana kita nak tahu produk mana yang betul-betul buat kerja?

Minyak enjin melindungi permukaan enjin dari geseran antara satu sama lain sekaligus mengurangkan haba dan secara tidak langsung memanjangkan hayat enjin.

Disini CASTROL POWER1 ULTIMATE menawarkan perlindungan 50 peratus lebih baik daripada had industri pada motosikal dan skuter.

Tunggangan Lancar

Dalam pasaran ada banyak jenama yang baik-baik belaka tetapi apa yang paling merisaukan, dah keluar duit beli berbotol-botol tapi keputusan dia tak berapa cemerlang.

‘Korang’ tak payah risau sebab CASTROL POWER1 ULTIMATE memang terbukti menjaminkan genggaman klac yang lancar, justeru meningkatkan tahap kelancaran sewaktu menunggang.

Paling mustahak jangan lupa kenal pasti apa tahap kelikatan yang sesuai sebelum guna. Jangan main bedal!

Jaga Suhu Enjin

Ini antara aspek yang ‘kitorang’ sendiri rasa kagum sebabnya CASTROL POWER1 ULTIMATE dah jalani ujian ketahanan yang ekstrim lebih 12,000km dan hasilnya suhu enjin masih berada di tahap optimum.

Percayalah, perbezaan beberapa darjah boleh bawa perbezaan besar terutamanya dari segi penjimatan minyak dan keselesaan menunggang.

Tahan Lasak

Minyak pelincir berkualiti tak sepatutnya memberi kesan pada prestasi enjin. Jadi pentingnya produk tertentu menawarkan tahap kelikatan dan kelinciran yang efisien.

Tak minat sekadar sembang kosong, CASTROL POWER1 ULTIMATE berjaya mengekalkan 95 peratus prestasi enjin meskipun menempuh lebih 48,000 kilometer sewaktu ujian di litar.

Secara tak langsung membuktikan CASTROL POWER1 ULTIMATE menawarkan tahap ketahanan tertinggi.

Bukan itu saja, ‘rider’ juga akan rasa enjin menghasilkan deruman yang lebih baik walaupun dah catat perbatuan yang tinggi.

Kesimpulan

Selepas baca segala poin penting di atas, mungkin ‘korang’ akan tertanya “berapa pulak kos untuk CASTROL POWER1 ULTIMATE ni?”

Sebelum ini, kami nak ingatkan, apa salahnya berbelanja ekstra untuk dapatkan barang baik untuk motosikal yang ‘korang’ bersusah payah kumpul duit nak beli tu?

Takkan motosikal beli beribu tapi minyak enjin nak sumbat yang harga kedai 2 ringgit?

Kalau ‘korang’ berminat, jangan pula tinjau bengkel motor Castrol Bike Point terdekat atau klik link berikut untuk dapatkan CASTROL POWER1 ULTIMATE dari stor rasmi Castrol Malaysia di Shopee, dijamin 100 peratus original!
