Petronas and Stellantis roll out recycled engine oils

AMSTERDAM: Petronas Lubricants International (PLI) and Stellantis N.V have teamed up to introduce its latest range of lubricants: the co-branded Selenia SUSTAINera engine oils.

This new product range, sourced from recycled base oils, is said to reduce carbon footprint while delivering high engine performance.

Selenia SUSTAINera is engineered using advanced technology and incorporates premium recycled base oils, with 30% of its formulation sourced from recycled materials.

The product also promotes sustainability, with packaging made from 50% recycled plastic and 100% recyclable. Stellantis claimed it provides almost the same engine protection as virgin base oil formulations.

Petronas Lubricants International managing director and group chief executive officer Hezlinn Idris said transforming wastes into valuable products allowed Petronas to cater to the evolving demands of customers, while bringing the company a step closer towards its "net zero carbon emission aspirations.

Made to meet the requirements of Euro 5 engines, the Selenia SUSTAINera portfolio includes three products with different viscosities: Selenia SUSTAINera WR Pure Energy 5W-30, Selenia SUSTAINera K Pure Energy 5W-40 and Selenia SUSTAINera Multipower Gas 5W-40, available in 1-litre and 5-litre packs for the brands: Abarth, Alfa Romeo, FIAT, Fiat Professional, Lancia, Jeep and Chrysler.

Following the introduction of the lubricants, Petronas and Stellantis are exploring ways to expand the range of recycled products.
