Caltex PH’s new Havoline fluids give your bike the added oomph factor it deserves

Caltex Havoline, marketed by Chevron Philippines Inc. (CPI), today unveiled a new generation of four-stroke motorcycle and scooter engine oils that maximizes engine performance and delivers smooth engine operation on all road conditions. The new product line for motorcycles and scooters includes fully synthetic, semi-synthetic and mineral products formulated with Havoline’s signature C.O.R.E.+ Technology, and ZOOMTECH.

All Havoline Super 4T and SuperMatic 4T four-stroke motorcycle and scooter engine oils now come with the upgraded C.O.R.E.+ Technology, Caltex’s most advanced and best-performing formulation. C.O.R.E.+ Technology is an improvement over the previous C.O.R.E. Technology and further addresses key concerns especially in stressful city traffic conditions. These engine oils deliver a more enjoyable riding experience with enhanced engine performance and cleaning properties.

Apart from an upgrade in product technology, the entire Havoline Super 4T and SuperMatic 4T range also meets American Petroleum Institute (API) SN 1 , one of the latest specifications in the industry.

Previously, Havoline Super 4T semi-synthetic and mineral products were only meeting API SL 2 specifications. Now, meeting API SN specifications ensures that all Havoline Super 4T and SuperMatic 4T fully synthetic, semi-synthetic and mineral engine oils offer increased high temperature deposits protection for pistons, better wear control, and improved sludge control in urban, stop-and-go riding conditions. Most motorcycle and scooter engine oil brands in the region are only offering a mix of API SJ 3, SL and SN products.

Asia-Pacific accounts for 83% 1 of the global two-wheel population, or 524.2 million units in absolute numbers. This number is only set to grow, fueled by rising urbanization in growing economies of the APAC region and increasing demand for transport in small cities. In 2019, the two-wheeler market in the Philippines hit the 8th all-time record in a row and 5th largest in the world. While the 2020 outlook isn’t good, the industry is expected to have a fast recovery next year.

C.O.R.E.+ Technology stands for:

  • Cleans and protects – Maintains efficient engine performance
  • Oxidation stability – Protects against oil degradation
  • Reduces engine heat damage – Delivers continuous and superior oil stability
  • Enhances acceleration – Improves clutch grip under high loads with ZOOMTECH

In addition, these engine oils 2 are also formulated with ZOOMTECH, which delivers better oil frictional properties. For the everyday rider, this improves clutch grip and prevents slippage, especially under high load conditions, and ensures maximum power transfer for enhanced acceleration.

Lastly, the entire range of Havoline Super 4T and SuperMatic 4T engine oils now meet API SN performance specifications, which delivers benefits including:

  • High temperature piston deposit protection
  • Improved robustness in wear control
  • Enhanced oxidation thickening for better lubrication of the engine
  • Sludge control properties, especially in urban, stop-go conditions

The previously well-received Ride Strong campaign takes on a refreshing new look this year, with a more dynamic set of visuals that covers print, digital and OOH applications. Product labels and cartons have also been redesigned for better legibility.

Caltex range of products for motorcycles and scooters also include:

  • Caltex Havoline Ezy 4T SAE 20W-40 API SG JASO MA2
  • Caltex Havoline Scooter Gear Oil SAE 80W-90 API GL-5
  • Techron Concentrate Plus - Motorcycle
  • Caltex Brake and Clutch Fluid DOT 3
  • Caltex Havoline Xtended Life Coolant (Premixed)
