It is designed with 5-in-1 Full Synthetic technology for smoother engine operation and protection against heat and wear in real-world situations such as traffic congestion and long-distance travel.

Additionally, this engine oil helps maintain consistent protection for longer city rides.

Gan Wee Kiong, National Sales Director for Castrol in Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines, stated, “What we learn in motorsport helps us develop better products for everyday riders.”

“With the scooter segment continuously growing, the Power1 ULTIMATE Scooter comes as a solution that meets the performance needs and quality standards of the Malaysian market,” he explained.

The product is currently in the final stages of regulatory approval and is expected to enter the Malaysian market starting May 2026, following SIRIM certification.
