Castrol, a lubricant brand, has launched a new variant of two-wheeler engine oil – New Castrol Activ – which the company claims comes fortified with improved actibond molecules.

These molecules cling to critical engine parts through all stages of riding, providing 50 per cent better protection than standard two-wheeler lubricants in India.

“Modern riding conditions demand a lot from riders and their bikes. There are at least 10 million instances per month where a bike engine could get damaged whilst running. A bike requires continuous protection not just while riding but also during start up and even when the engine is off,” said Castrol India Vice President Marketing Kedar Apte.

“The new formulation of Castrol Activ has improved actibonds that provide continuous protection during start up, riding and even when the engine is off,” Apte added.
