Castrol wins Asia Automotive Brand Trust award

In January, Castrol Malaysia received the Brand Trust & Market Leadership Award at the 5th Asia Automotive Award in Bangkok, Thailand, a recognition spanning 11 Asian markets and awarded to brands that have earned the confidence of mechanics and service professionals across the region.

 

Mechanic trust as the new benchmark

Castrol’s recognition reflects its deep engagement with the mechanic community in Malaysia.

Through more than 3,000 Castrol-branded workshops nationwide, including Castrol Auto Service and Castrol Bike Point networks, the brand supports up to half a million motorists each month.

This footprint strengthens mechanics as trusted advisors, positioning Castrol as the reference point many motorists in Malaysia turn to when making engine-care decisions.

“Trust at the workshop level is built over time through consistent performance and close collaboration with mechanics. This award reflects the confidence mechanics have placed in Castrol, and we value the role mechanics play in helping motorists make the right engine-care decisions every day,” said Joshua Tan, Head of Marketing Castrol Malaysia & Singapore.

 

Building affinity through real-world relevance

As vehicles become more complex, with hybrids, electrification and new thermal demands shifting the technical landscape, the role of mechanics as advisors only grows.

Castrol’s investments in digital enablers such as the Castrol Motorist App and enhanced workshop visibility tools are designed to support this evolution, giving motorists clearer guidance, transparency and accessibility in their servicing decisions.

The Asia Automotive Award, held in Thailand, is regarded as a key regional benchmark for credibility across manufacturers, service providers and aftermarket brands.

Castrol’s win in the Brand Trust & Market Leadership category reflects the brand’s long-standing relevance in workshops, and how trust gained upstream continues to make a difference downstream, for everyday motorists.

Castrol CRB Turbomax: suitable for heavy and light-duty vehicles

Castrol Malaysia has announced two new lubricant products under the Castrol CRB Turbomax brand: Castrol CRB Turbomax 10W-40 CK-4/E9 and Castrol CRB Turbomax 5W-40 CK-4/SN.

Both of these lubricants are specifically designed to meet the needs of commercial vehicles, ranging from heavy-duty trucks to light-duty vehicles.

Featuring Durashield™ technology, these new lubricants protect engines from heat, deposits, and friction, extending engine lifespan to ensure smooth operation even in challenging conditions.

Castrol CRB Turbomax 10W-40 CK-4/E9 is a synthetic technology engine oil suitable for high-speed four-stroke diesel engines and is compatible with diesel engines equipped with exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems.

Meanwhile, Castrol CRB Turbomax 5W-40 CK-4/SN is a fully synthetic oil designed for light commercial vehicles such as pickups, vans, and small trucks.

It also offers 3X protection (against heat, deposits, and friction) comparable to heavy-duty engine oils.

Performance tests indicate that Castrol CRB Turbomax 5W-40 CK-4/SN achieves 50% better protection against friction.

Both oils are also compatible with biodiesel, making them a more environmentally friendly fuel choice.
