THE Guyana Oil Company Limited (GUYOIL) on Monday launched its Castrol GTX Promotion at its Regent Street Service Station.

The Castrol GTX Promotion offers consumers US$2 or GY$420 off of every gallon of GTX 10W30 or 5QTs GTX ultra clean.

Consumers purchasing GTX 10W40 and GTX 20W50 will also benefit from this offer. Additionally, each lucky customer will be chosen for a free oil change at a Guyoil Lube Bay of their choice.

Castrol Lubricants is a leading lubricant brand worldwide and is actually the brand that pioneered motor racing.

The promotion was designed to endorse and encourage the sale of low viscosity lubricants and to promote the GTX Ultra Clean.

Most vehicles currently being imported perform at their optimum with low viscosity lubricants such as GTX Ultra Clean 5W30 and GTX 10W30.

Low Viscosity lubricants allow for extended engine life, quicker starts, and reduced battery drain, less pollution, improved engine cooling and increased fuel economy.

Speaking to the media on Monday, GUYOIL Marketing and Sales Manager, Eric Whaul, said most vehicles manufactured were so designed to use low viscosity lubricants – meaning viscosity like GTX 10W40.

He related that gone were the days when people were focused on high viscosity oil. They are moving to cleaner products since heavy oils caused the engines to stutter and not perform as it should, thus causing drivers to burn more fuel.

Whaul said there were 58 GUYOIL service stations across the country and urged all to make use of the promotion which started on Friday and ends on October 31.
