For four-wheelers, Castrol GTX Full Synthetic introduces 5W-30 and 0W-20 viscosities targeting the growing low-viscosity segment. The company claims this move brings full synthetic technology to mass market segments, positioning Castrol as a disruptor in the Indian lubricants market. The products will be available across 150,000+ retail outlets and online platforms.
