A hybrid can stop-start 500,000 times during its life - 10 times more than a conventional car. These repeated engine shut downs mean a hybrid‘s complex engine system runs cooler than conventional vehicles.
These lower temperatures and many more stop-start moments than conventional vehicles put extra stress on a hybrid engine, and can increase the amount of fuel and water in the oil. This makes it harder for the oil to protect against damaging engine wear.
Castrol MAGNATEC Hybrid helps protect against the specific issues that challenge hybrid engines. Its DUALOCK Technology locks together at the surface to form a powerful forcefield of protection, dramatically reducing low temperature and stop-start engine wear by 50%.
