JAKARTA - Machine oil is an important liquid that becomes blood for vehicle engines. Good oil not only lubricates the engine, but also protects it from damage. Therefore, the selection of the best quality oil is an important step in vehicle maintenance.

In an increasingly sophisticated era of car industry development, the need for high quality components is increasing. For this reason, Pertamina Lubricants collaborates with Lamborghini Squadra Corse to develop world-class oils that protect vehicle engines and optimize performance.

In addition to focusing on the race track with Lamborghini Squadra Corse, Pertamina Lubricants is also committed to providing insights to consumers about the importance of choosing the right oil for the health of vehicle engines on the highway. Here are 3 tips to choose the car oil that suits each type of vehicle:

1. Understand The Type Of Car Engine Oil

Currently, there are three types of car engine oil in the market, namely:

Mineral oils: Made from processed petroleum material, are suitable for cars in the 1990s and belows. Semi Synthetic Oli: Combination of synthetic base oil materials with mineral ingredients, suitable for cars issued in the 2000s. Full Synthetic Oli: The most superior type of oil with Polyalphaoleffin (PAO) content that supports resistance to degradation to heat and friction. Suitable for cars issued in 2010 and above.

2. Pay attention to the Olympics Testing and Certification

High-quality oils have usually passed various tests and certifications to ensure that the oil meets certain quality standards. Pertamina Lubricants conducts oil development and testing through the Lubricants Technology Center (LTC). This is a collaboration center where experts and scientists work together to develop world-class oils.

The oil development process, such as Fastron Platinum Racing, was carried out with a dyno test using a Lamborghini car for 500 hours, as well as testing on the circuit with a total distance of up to 5,000 km. Pertamina Fastron's products have received approval as world-class oil from a number of leading vehicle manufacturers (OEM).

3. Adjust the Viscosity of the Oil to the Type of Vehicle

The viscosity of oil is very important because it affects the ability of oil to flow and lubricate the engine components. Oils that are too dilute do not provide sufficient lubricant layers, while oils that are too thick can reduce lubricant efficiency.

Pertamina Fastron has various types of oil designed for various vehicles. There are Pertamina Fastron Platinum series for racing cars and supercars, Pertamina Fastron Gold series for luxury cars, Pertamina Fastron Techno series for various types of passenger cars, and Pertamina Fastron Ecogreen series for low emission cars as well as Pertamina Fastron Diesel oil for diesel-engine cars.

Pertamina Fastron's oil provides flexibility in various conditions for all types of cars, both used daily and on the race track. With the right oil selection, your vehicle engine can operate optimally and lasts a long time.
