The new claims, which will be featured on Castrol motor oils starting this month, highlight "Ultimate Performance & Protection" (EP), "Superior Performance & Protection" (EDGE), and "Superior Protection" (GTX Full Synthetic) across seven critical areas, including pressure, power, fuel economy, high-temperature performance, cleanliness, wear protection, and endurance (for full synthetic oils) or emission systems protection (for high mileage oils).
Coinciding with the upcoming GF-7 industry standards update, these claims strengthen Castrol's position as a leader that delivers consumers the protection and performance they deserve.
"For 125 years, Castrol has been driven by a relentless pursuit of innovation, and our new product claims are a testament to our continued commitment to exceed industry standards and deliver a broad range of enhanced performance and protection benefits to our customers," said President & CEO Castrol Americas Andreas Osbar. "Partnering with RFK Racing and Brad Keselowski, a champion known for precision and perseverance, shows that we're pushing the limits of what's possible on and off the track."
Beyond being featured on Castrol's new motor oil bottles, the claims will come to life in a unique paint scheme for Keselowski's No. 6 Ford Mustang at Darlington. The scheme features an all-black base splashed with motor oil graphics with the claim "7 Critical Areas of Performance and Protection" across the hood and trunk lid. A gold number six with a +1 dons the side of the car as a nod to the 7 new claims and Brad's attempt at another win at Darlington.
"Darlington is a special race for us, and we wanted to create a paint scheme that championed Castrol's proven record of protection and performance while nodding to last year's victory," said RFK Racing Co-Owner Brad Keselowski, who took the checkered flag at the same race last year. "The design reinforces Castrol's superiority across seven key areas while reflecting our shared commitment to innovation and excellence."
To engage fans and further amplify the new product claims, Castrol is launching the "7 Critical Areas Sweepstakes" on social.
