All that constant stopping and starting in traffic causes increased microscopic engine wear.
Because of increasingly busy traffic, drivers today are experiencing more and more stop-start driving. Even a normal driver can stop and start as many as 18000 times a year.
Frequent stopping and starting involves more decelerating, more idling and more accelerating, causes pieces of metal to be abraded off the surfaces of critical engine parts, increasing microscopic engine wear.
Castrol MAGNATEC STOP-START contains special molecules that form a self-healing layer that constantly protects against stop-start wear, providing up to 20% better stop-start wear protection*. So even if some molecules are knocked off in the process of protecting your engine, others rush in to restore the protective layer.
Even if some molecules are knocked off the surface during engine operation, then more rush to the surface to restore the protective layer, making it the ideal engine oil for the busy driving we all experience today.
Using a powerful microscope, Castrol experts captured images of the type of microscopic engine wear caused by stop-start driving. The new tactile icon on every pack enables you to experience the difference Castrol MAGNATEC STOP-START makes.
Experience in store.
