Castrol GTX Story

Castrol GTX Pulse Heart
Sludge is engine cholesterol
  • Engine sludge is a thick, dark substance that builds up and clogs oil passages and important engine parts the same way cholesterol clogs the heart's arteries and veins.
  • Sludge buil-up can lead to decreased engine performance and in some cases engine breakdown. Once sludge builds up in an engine it's difficult, if not impossible to remove.
  • New Castrol GTX can prevent the build-up of sludge in an engine.
No engine is immune to sludge
Research shows sludge build-up is one of the highest engine related problems
  • Over recent years, there have been increasing instances of sludge found in engines of all ages and across a number of manufacturers.
  • This is often as a result of increased stop-start driving, exceeding oil change intervals and adverse temperatures.
