The Loooong Ride is Castrol GTX’s ultimate road test - an epic journey from Cape Town to Kenya, hosted by ambassadors Lance Woolridge and Thabiso Mkhize, led by comedian Donovan Goliath, and joined by tastemakers along the way, starting with Jason Goliath to kick off the South African leg.
From the mountains of Lesotho to the plains of Tanzania, this 10,000 km adventure puts GTX oil to the test - proving the endurance and engine-cleaning power of Castrol GTX 5W30 engine oil and 10W40 engine oil on real African roads, under real African conditions. Heat, altitude, and rough terrain included.
Every 2,000 km, we test our oil. Every episode, we share fresh content, insights, and stories from mechanics, drivers, and everyday people. It’s education meets entertainment, showing how GTX oil goes loooooonger - in performance and in legacy.
Follow the journey. Meet the passengers.
Castrol GTX’s 3XCLEAN formula has been developed to fight the three main causes of engine sludge: heat, contaminants, and short trips. By cleaning away existing sludge and creating a barrier that helps stop deposits from forming, Castrol GTX keeps engines cleaner for longer, 35% cleaner than industry standards.* This means drivers and their vehicles enjoy more years together.
