MELAKA: The all-new Petronas Syntium has been launched as part of a phased global rollout, featuring upgraded formulations that meet the latest API SQ and ILSAC GF-7 standards.
Developed through decades of Formula One-winning experience and Fluid Technology Solutions expertise, the new range is designed to deliver enhanced engine protection, fuel efficiency and performance, bringing motorsport-proven technology into everyday reliability for motorists.
Rather than offering a single catch-all solution, the portfolio comprises four purpose-built variants, each developed to meet specific driving needs, from high-performance and Japanese engines to everyday vehicles and hybrid powertrains.
The new range simplifies the choice for consumers, offering a streamlined selection of oils that meet the latest industry standards while supporting improved fuel efficiency and engine performance.
The range includes Syntium Supreme which is designed for high-performance vehicles, and features CoolTech+ technology - it cuts engine wear and maximises fuel efficiency by up to 13%.
Meanwhile, the Syntium Supreme GLV2 comes with JASO GLV-2 approvals, and assures up to 19% better fuel efficiency and a higher shear stability for highly demanding Japanese cars.
As for the Syntium Prime, it is billed as delivering reliable, long-lasting engine defence for everyday vehicles.
It features Active Defense technology to ensure consistent performance across everyday driving conditions for stress-free driving.
Also, the Syntium Hybrid was specifically engineered to meet the unique demands of hybrid powertrains.
CoolTech-H technology delivers targeted protection during frequent stop-start cycles and across the lower operating temperatures typical of hybrid operation.
Petronas Lubricants International regional managing director Asia Noorhana Abdul Habib said, “The new Petronas Syntium range marks a defining step in advancing lubricant innovation, delivering uncompromising quality solutions to workshops and motorists across Malaysia and Asia."
"Powered by next-generation formulations aligned with the latest API SQ standard, it enhances fuel efficiency and engine performance, empowering motorists with cutting-edge technology that delivers excellence in every drive.”
The all-new Syntium range has been launched in Malaysia, Japan and selected European markets.
The rollout will expand across key Asia-Pacific markets throughout the year, making the range available at Petronas AutoExpert locations and authorised workshop networks in countries including China, Indonesia and Thailand by the end of 2026.
