Caltex Havoline with Deposit Shield engine oils upgraded

The Caltex Havoline with Deposit Shield engine oil range, which includes the Havoline Fully Synthetic, Havoline Synthetic Blend and Havoline Formula, has been upgraded to API SN, the highest performance standard set by the American Petroleum Institute (API) to date.

The additives in Caltex Havoline with Deposit Shield creates a protective coating that shields the engine from deposits, metal-to-metal contact, corrosive agents and the extreme temperatures of combustion.

According to Caltex, Havoline Synthetic Blend SAE 10W-40 goes beyond what is required of API SN and provides 30% more protection from corrosion and 30% better wear protection. The same oil is also 70% better at wear protection in extreme driving conditions, improving oil stability and increasing durability.

The by-products of combustion and breakdown of oil over time can change the oil viscosity, potentially causing poorer fuel economy. Caltex says that Havoline Synthetic Blend SAE 10W-40 is 55% better at retaining viscosity under harsh conditions.

“To enjoy the journey, drivers today want to protect what really matters – the investment they made in their cars and its performance. Our latest upgrade – Havoline with Deposit Shield – was developed to address the needs of car enthusiasts, and all drivers who understand the importance of protecting their investment,” said Simon Lim, Chevron Lubricant Sales Manager for Malaysia and Singapore.
