Proton introduces Lubricants range

Malaysian car manufacturer PROTON announced the launch of a range of lubricants formulated exclusively for its cars. Marketed under the company’s genuine parts range, there are four grades in the Proton Genuine Oil (PGO) line up, dubbed PGO 1 to PGO 4, comprising fully synthetic, semi- synthetic and mineral lubricants.

Formulated for all PROTON engines
Leveraging on its close working relationship with its technical partners, the PGO range of lubricants are formulated specifically for Proton’s engines by Petronas. Available in 5W30 SP, 5W30 SN, 10W30 SN and 15W40 SN viscosity levels with API SP and API SN ratings, they are now available at all authorised Proton service centres. The lubricants will also be available from parts stockists, though this is currently limited to only the PGO 3 and PGO 4.

“The launch of PGO lubricants is another step in PROTON’s journey to being a premium Malaysian automotive brand. We worked closely with our partners on the formulation to ensure it met our exacting requirements and offered our customers the engine protection their Proton models deserve at an affordable price. By having a full list of products, we are also able to cover our entire model range including the latest TGDI engines used by our SUVs.

“Looking ahead, PROTON is exploring other areas where we can closely collaborate with our vendors to deliver more value to our customers. We will also exploit the strength of our dealer network, that has the largest number of 3S and 4S outlets in the country, to ensure that products such as the PGO range will be made available nationwide as quickly as possible,”  said Roslan Abdullah, Chief Executive Officer, Proton Edar.
