Published by: Chevron Technology | 28-Mar-2025

The latest generation of vehicles are technologically advanced and environmentally friendlier as compared to their predecessors. To optimize their performance and support their emissions reduction endeavours, it is essential to use the right passenger car motor oil for these vehicles. One such low-emission engine oil is the Havoline Fully Synthetic LE 5W-30, which is a premium fully synthetic lubricant designed for modern petrol and diesel engine vehicles, offering advanced engine protection and improved environmental performance. 

Features of Havoline Fully Synthetic LE 5W-30 

The fully synthetic oil offers an advanced solution in severe temperatures with '5W' representing its performance in cold temperatures while '30' representing its performance in high temperatures. Apart from this, the engine oil provides optimal protection for vehicles fitted with catalytic converters and diesel particulate filters, contributing to greener vehicle emissions. The low emission engine oil is suitable for use across various automotive platforms, including Indian, European and Japanese vehicles.  

Benefits of Havoline Fully Synthetic LE 5W-30 

The Havoline Fully Synthetic LE 5W-30 engine oil has been formulated by Chevron in the US, the parent company of Caltex Lubricants, using its patented Deposit Shield Technology for modern petrol and diesel passenger cars. It has been engineered to minimize harmful emissions, support efficient catalytic converter operation, reduce engine friction and contribute to overall vehicle fuel efficiency. Further, the Havoline engine oil supports the longevity of sophisticated exhaust after-treatment systems. It also enables longer oil change intervals and improves overall engine performance, thus leading to more sustainable automotive maintenance. 

Havoline Fully Synthetic LE 5W-30 versus conventional lubricants 

Havoline motor oil offers advanced protection compared to its conventional counterparts because of its synthetic formulation and high-performance characteristics. The Deposit Shield Technology offers better engine wear protection by minimizing sludge buildup. Comparatively, traditional engine oils lack the advanced technology found in synthetic oils and may not provide the same level of protection against premature wear and tear of engine components. Additionally, the viscosity characteristics of the Havoline synthetic oil offer outstanding thermal stability, unlike conventional mineral oils.   

The Caltex fully synthetic engine oil helps reduce energy loss and improves fuel economy, particularly during high-speed driving and stop-and-go traffic. The biggest advantage of using this engine oil over conventional ones is its low SAPS (Sulfated Ash, Phosphorus, and Sulfur) formulation, which makes it more compatible with modern emission systems, helping reduce harmful emissions.  

Havoline Fully Synthetic LE 5W-30 availability in India 

The Havoline Fully Synthetic LE 5W-30 engine oil is significant for the Indian automotive industry which is moving toward cleaner emissions. The high-performance lubricant technology combines global expertise with local manufacturing capabilities as it is being manufactured locally at Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited's (HPCL) state-of-the-art production facility in India. It is a part of the strategic partnership between Caltex and HPCL to manufacture and distribute engine oils that cater to the evolving industry demand. The product will be available across the country through authorised automotive lubricant retailers, authorised service centers, and through the official distribution channels. 

This innovative partnership aligns with the Indian government's initiatives like the PLI scheme for the automotive sector, which aims to increase domestic manufacturing capabilities and attract foreign investment. This approach ensures that high-quality, locally produced lubricants that meet international standards are available to customers while supporting domestic manufacturing capabilities. Further, it addresses the evolving regulatory requirements for success in domestic and global markets.With its comprehensive protection for Indian, European and Japanese vehicles models, the Caltex Havoline Fully Synthetic LE 5W-30 engine oil is set to significantly impact the Indian automotive lubricants market.
