Helps extend engine life
Older or higher mileage vehicles are more susceptible to engine sludge which can restrict the flow of oil and prevent it from properly protecting the engine.
Castrol GTX tackles this problem head-on so you are ready for the road ahead.
Castrol GTX’s 3X Clean formula provides superior protection against engine sludge. Keeping engines cleaner for longer – 35% cleaner than industry standards**.
The danger of engine sludge
As a vehicle’s mileage increases, the engine can become susceptible to sludge. Sludge is a thick tar-like substance that if left untreated, can lead to poor running, loss of power, and even engine seizure.
There are three main causes of engine sludge:
- Extreme heat can break down oil, which forms sludge when combined with dirt particles.
- Water, unburned fuel and other contaminants can all react with oil to create sludge.
- Contaminants that create engine sludge are more easily absorbed by the oil during short trips.
