High-speed engine oil

Discover our super high-performance diesel high-speed engine oil – Castrol HLX. Reducing friction and protecting against corrosion and wear.

Engine performance you can rely on

High-speed operators, such as fishing fleets and trawlers, depend on consistent engine performance to keep operations running reliably and efficiently. With advances in modern diesel technology and ever tighter emissions legislation, the role of cylinder oils has never been more critical. Engines face greater stress, higher temperatures, and tougher operating conditions than ever before.

 

Castrol HLX is a range of super high-performance diesel* (SHPD) high-speed cylinder oils, formulated to meet the toughest marine lubricant industry specifications. Castrol HLX is designed to deliver protection – helping to keep engines cleaner, reduce wear, and keep your fleet moving forward.

Castrol HLX for high-speed engine protection

Designed for demanding conditions

Castrol HLX, our super high-performance diesel* (SHPD) cylinder oil, reduces friction, helps protect against corrosion and wear, assists in sealing, contributes to engine cooling, and suspends harmful combustion by-products.

 

Formulated with premium additive technology and high-quality base oils, Castrol HLX delivers excellent high-temperature performance and resistance to bore polishing. Keeping high-speed engines cleaner and more efficient, and helping minimise downtime even under the toughest conditions.

Improved service intervals

Combined with high detergency and excellent thermal and oxidative stability, Castrol HLX can help provide reliable lubrication even in the most severe diesel engine applications. Delivering extended drain capability – often doubling intervals compared to standard marine oils.
