Petronas has used the fever surrounding the upcoming 2015 Malaysian Grand Prix to its advantage by unveiling the latest addition to its lubricant line, the new Petronas Syntium with CoolTech, at Suria KLCC earlier today. The new lubricants are the national oil company’s flagship passenger car engine oils, engineered to reduce engine heat and maintain optimum engine performance.
Excessive engine heat, Petronas claims, is a common problem – high-stress situations such as traffic jams, hilly roads and high-rev acceleration are regularly encountered in everyday driving. These can drive up temperatures deep inside the engine – which doesn’t show up on the temperature gauge in the instrument cluster – and can put a strain on the powertrain, damaging critical components and reducing performance.
“Petronas Syntium with CoolTech is uniquely engineered with strong oil chains to effectively absorb and transfer excessive heat from critical engine parts,” said Petronas Lubricants International (PLI) MD and CEO Amir Hamzah Azizan. “By stopping engine-damaging heat at its source, drivers can be assured of optimum driving performance.”
Through increased heat dissipation, the benefits of the new CoolTech lubricants are said to be threefold – firstly, they prevent engine failure by protecting key components from temperature-induced wear and tear. Secondly, they delay the thickening of oil by resisting oxidation, ensuring optimum lubrication. Finally, they maintain optimum engine performance by reducing harmful deposit buildup.
As a result, the engine oils are claimed to provide over 70% higher resistance to cam wear, over 60% higher oxidisation resistance and over 30% better protection against piston deposit buildup.
“Petronas Syntium with CoolTech delivers exceptional oxidation stability to protect the engine and ensure minimal oil thickening as the consequence of high operating temperatures, while ensuring lubrication of critical engine components, thus preventing detrimental wear and tear,” said PLI COO Eric Holthusen.
These lubricants leverage on Petronas’ 20 years of technical experience in Formula One, cumulating in the Mercedes AMG Petronas team sweeping the drivers’ and constructors’ championships last year in a incredible display of dominance.
“Engine oil plays a critical role to manage the engine’s temperature and prevent heat-related damage,” said Mercedes AMG Petronas driver Nico Rosberg. “Petronas Syntium proved to be a winning formula for us in 2014. Equipped with a unique formulation, it protected our engines against extreme temperatures and maintained optimum engine performance.”
Petronas Syntium with CoolTech will be phased into the Malaysian market, beginning with selected Petronas stations and LubeXperts workshops, and will be available nationwide from May onwards.

never try petronas motor oil..any feedback?
Their higher end lube is great but the hard to get and can be very expensive.My 1.8 waja was using the fs petronas oil (dont recall which model) up till 60k km and i must admit it perform as it claim.the increase in price force me to change to Total and my mileage is 200k km now and my engine does not consume engine oil.
The cheaper model is not that cheap and there are other alternative at cheaper price and does the same job.
It have to see what car u drive.
0-40w will not make it compatible to perodua aXia.
Axia Aluminium engine use only 0W-20.
using this 0w-40 will be too thick and definitely can harm the fuel efficient engine.
Check your Engine Specs and engine oil requirement.
Give other people best quality in the world but give our people worst fuel quality. People in this waiting still waiting for your delay Euro 4 fuel.
Petronas have been ready to launch Euro4 grade fuel long time ago. But the other 2 oil companies did not want to invest CAPEX to upgrade their refineries to do such thing. The gov’t should not have listened to them and should have just proceed with the plan
I used syntium 7000 before for my campro cps engine, very good and I did not change it for 20k km, but quite pricey
Now I’m confuse, is it safe to change oil after the mileage more than 5k? using fully synthetic but I just extend it till 10k against Honda malaysia recommendation.. Really frustrating for me as I easily get 5k mileage in just 2 months..
During my prime time,i clock 10k km per month for 3 month.provided u r using high quality and genuine lube,i see no problem at all with 10k km oil change.
However,this only apply for normal usage of the vehicle.
Its not about if its mineral,semi or fs.its about the quality of the lube as some high quality mineral can easily last up to 10k km.since mineral is cheap,most will recommend to change at 5k km which to me is just purely fo marketing purpose
Bro. The syntium 7000 u bought..was it still the old gold bottle or the new bottle with Cool Tech ? How much was the price?
This is one Malaysian brand I would gladly use over imports
Sam son saga used it too to increase RV
Just Malaysian brand but with Germany technology, Lovely really.
Even the lubricants can be used up to 1 trillions km, most of it will not be available throughout many service centers. Some Service center will threaten of warranty voidable if didnt buy their type or brand of eo at their place. Majority of services in malaysia center is low class and pathetic.
Hey Paul/Jonathan,
I guess this is not a paid advertisement eh because I can see some idiotic comments.
Nevertheless, glad to see a local brand standing tall in the eyes of the world.
eh no Megan Tan ? :-P~~
No, JTX is better than these.
come on bro….JTX is nothing
