Castrol MAGNATEC 10W-40 has been voted the best motor lubricant by South African consumers.

Hosted annually, the Product of the Year is the world’s largest consumer-voted programme that identifies innovation in the products and services industry.

For the past eight years, South African brands have competed for status of Product of the Year in 36 different consumer product categories. The categories range from mobile phones, personal and childcare, food and beverages to household appliances.

Product of the Year winners are chosen following a rigorous judging process where a representative sample of over 5 000 consumers in South Africa are surveyed to understand which products are considered the best in the country.

Castrol MAGNATEC 10W-40 is said to protect a car’s engine during the critical warm-up stage, when up to 75% of engine wear occurs. It’s intelligent molecules cling to critical parts when the oil drains down and cling to your engine forming an extra layer of protection during warm-up and beyond.
