KUALA LUMPUR: Drivers looking to protect the turbocharged gasoline direct injection (TGDI) engines of their vehicle may want to check out Motul's new Eco-Tech 5W30.
The 100% synthetic engine oil is crafted for the intense demands of TGDI engines, and is Motul’s value-aligned answer for Malaysian drivers who demand lasting protection and performance from their turbocharged vehicles.
According to Motul, popular models such as the Proton X50 and X70; Chery Omoda 5, Tiggo 7 Pro and Tiggo 8 Pro; Jaecoo J7; Haval H6 and GAC GS3 stand to benefit from the engine oil.
It does this in a number of ways, primarily by offering full protection for TGDI engines as it is built to endure extreme heat and high-pressure conditions from the combustion chamber through to the turbo system.
The Eco-Tech 5W30 also offers a safeguard against Low-Speed Pre-Ignition (LSPI) which is a damaging phenomenon commonly triggered in modern TGDI stop-start driving.
Focus is given to the oil's integrity as it is maintained under extreme turbo heat and long drain intervals.
Another touted benefit is that the Eco-Tech 5W30 improves fuel economy and lowers CO₂ emissions.
The engine oil is fully compliant with ILSAC GF-6A and meets API SP requirements - supporting emissions compliance and ensuring efficiency across modern engines.
As TGDI vehicle’s become increasingly popular across Malaysia, Motul Malaysia general manager Ravi Shankar said drivers need an engine oil that not only safeguards against LPSI and extreme turbo heat but also delivers consistent reliability and fuel efficiency.
“We are bringing advanced protection that today’s turbocharged engines truly require.
"While many of these (mentioned) models have only recently launched, some of the earlier launched models are now reaching the end of their factory warranties, encouraging owners to explore independent aftermarket solutions that offer performance, reliability, and value.
"The Eco-Tech 5W30 is designed to meet this growing demand with tailored protection for modern turbo engines.
"It also embodies our promise of engineering smarter, making premium innovation accessible for everyday drivers while ensuring their vehicles perform at their best for years to come,” he added.
The new Eco-Tech 5W30 is now available at all Motul authorised retailers, workshops, and online platforms across Malaysia.
Motul Malaysia is offering an exclusive promotion for a limited time to celebrate the launch.
It comes in a full 5-litre bottle which, according to Motul, is just the right amount for a turbocharged engine without mixing, waste, or extra cost.
