Castrol has launched Castrol MAGNATEC 5W-30 P, an advanced engine oil specially formulated to meet Stellantis’ new FPW9.55535/03 5W-30 engine oil specification, which means it is suitable for a large proportion of Peugeot, Citroën, and DS vehicles currently on the road across key European markets*.
The new product has been formulated to meet leading industry standards and match the handbook specification of many Stellantis cars, SUVs, pick-ups and hybrids, delivering non-stop protection from every engine start. Castrol MAGNATEC 5W-30 P is designed for engines such as EB2 GEN 2 and is also compatible with EB2 Turbo GEN 1 and GEN 2, DV5R, and DW12RU. It also meets PSA B71 2290, as well as being approved for use in high temperature climates where PSA B71 2297 is required
Considering Stellantis vehicle coverage, MAGNATEC 5W-30 P can be used for 83% of the Citroën vehicle parc, 78% of Peugeot, and 44% of DS Automobiles*. The new product is also compatible with a select number of Opel/Vauxhall, Fiat, Toyota and Mitsubishi vehicles.
Castrol analysis shows that 75% of engine wear happens at the start of a journey and continues when cars accelerate, slow down and idle in city driving. Castrol MAGNATEC provides an advanced solution, offering 50% better engine wear protection** for critical components. It clings like a magnet to the engine’s vital components – such as the valvetrain, timing chain, pistons and bearings – to safeguard them from damage and wear.
The advanced formulation creates a protective barrier at metal contact points, reducing abrasive wear, managing piston deposits to minimise cylinder liner wear, and protecting engine bearings from corrosive damage. It also helps to maintain timing chain tension and engine synchronicity by minimising chain damage and elongation.
Henning von Rheden, Brand & Comms Director, Europe at Castrol, said: “The Castrol MAGNATEC family of engine oils is already used by millions of mechanics around the world, and the new MAGNATEC 5W-30 P formulation reflects our commitment to innovation and to ensuring maximum coverage of the vehicle parc. Formulated to address the demands of modern engines, it delivers optimal engine protection across a significant proportion of the Stellantis range.”
The latest addition to the MAGNATEC product range is available in a variety of packs, including 1L, 5L 20L, 60L, 208L and 1000L. This will provide mechanics and drivers with cutting-edge solutions for engine protection, enabling vehicles to perform at their peak under demanding driving conditions.
