<\/p>\nRenault Group and Castrol have together announced the launch of their new co-branded Renault Castrol GTX range formulated with Re-Refined Base Oils (RRBO).<\/p>\n
With this launch, Renault Group says it is the first automotive manufacturer to introduce this advanced technology to its latest engine oil specifications.<\/p>\n
Starting with RN17 (5W-30) now available across the European dealer network, it addresses over 50 per cent of Renault Group vehicles in use in Europe.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Combined with RN700 and RN710 already launched and to be followed by RN720 and AN2022 in 2026, Renault Group will be the only carmaker to offer a full range of premium engine oils for all its models, formulated to include RRBO.<\/p>\n
Used oils are re-refined with advanced technology to meet a standard equivalent to that of virgin oil. Combined with its expertise, Castrol says these oils “satisfy or surpass” Renault Group’s technical requirements while “maintaining engine protection, performance, and warranty coverage”.<\/p>\n
With an estimated 13-24 per cent lower carbon footprint reduction, Renault Group says it decided to exclusively propose these premium oils to its customers as”a clear commitment to a more circular automotive industry”. It is also said to help enable used oil recycling, reduces waste, uses less crude oil, and helps lower Scope 3 emissions.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis launch makes Renault Group the first OEM to provide its entire recent vehicle range with next-generation lubricants formulated with re-refined base oil,\u201d said Fran\u00e7ois Delion, vice president global after-sales at Renault Group. \u201cIt’s a true demonstration that sustainability can go hand-in-hand with uncompromising performance and quality, over the complete lifecycle of the vehicle.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBy co-engineering these products, we’re helping Renault Group meet customer needs today and tomorrow with high-performance, lower carbon, more circular lubricants for the automotive sector,” added Slawek Radon, vice president business development and partnerships at Castrol.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
