As the local car industry continues to grow rapidly, the Guyana Oil Company Limited (Guyoil) on Monday launched its Castrol GTX Promotion.
Guyoil Marketing and Sales Manager Eric Whaul said the promotion was designed to promote and encourage the sale of low-viscosity lubricants and to promote the GTX Ultra Clean.
Whaul said that most vehicles currently being imported perform at their optimum with low-viscosity lubricants such as GTX Ultra Clean 5W30 and GTX 10W30. He added that low-viscosity lubricants allow for extended engine life, a quicker start and reduced battery drain, less pollution, improved engine cooling and increased fuel economy.
“When you use high viscosity, the engine doesn’t perform as it should and you end up burning more fuel; I know a few years back the prices were very high, but now they have been regularised and there are now competitive prices,” Whaul said.
The Castrol GTX promotion offers consumers US$2 or G$420 off every gallon of GTX 10W30 or 5QTs GTX Ultra Clean. Consumers purchasing GTX 10W40 and GTX 20W50 will also benefit from this offer. Additionally, each lucky customer will be chosen for a free oil change at a Guyoil Lube Bay of their choice.
According to the Department of Public Information, the offer is available at all Guyoil Service Stations and participating locations while stocks last.
