Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, July 1, 2025 — Caltex Havoline, marketed by Caltex Malaysia, today unveiled a new engine oil, Caltex Havoline Fully Synthetic Hybrid SAE 0W-20, formulated for hybrid engines that maximises engine performance and ensures smooth engine operation. 

Caltex Havoline Fully Synthetic Hybrid engine oil provides quality engine care resulting in improved performance, enhanced protection and engine longevity. Hybrid engines are typically more prone to issues such as low temperature sludge, corrosion, and wear due to their lower engine temperatures. Caltex Havoline® Hybrid prevents those complications through its proprietary formulation:

  • Water and fuel dilution performance – Caltex Havoline Hybrid uses superior technology that forms strong emulsion in the presence of water, resulting in smoother oil flow 
  • Rust and corrosion performance – Caltex Havoline Hybrid provides excellent protection against rust and corrosion of engine parts in the presence of water and fuel contamination. With engine oil, a coating of oil forms a barrier between components to protect them and prevent corrosion, resulting in superior engine performance 
  • Low temperature sludge control performance – Caltex Havoline Hybrid’s chemistry minimises the formation of sludge and varnish deposit on the surface of engine parts in hybrid vehicles’ low temperature environment, resulting in cleaner engines 

With strong water and fuel dilution performance and excellent rust and corrosion protection, Caltex Havoline Hybrid is the smart choice for hybrid engine cars.

“Hybrid engines are becoming an increasingly popular choice among motorists in Malaysia, resulting in a demand for specially formulated lubricants that cater to hybrid engines. Caltex’s proprietary technology will be a core differentiator in being ahead of customer’s needs. Our newest generation of hybrid engine oils builds on the success of our previous Caltex Havoline product line in the market and raises the bar for product performance across the industry, providing drivers with confidence and peace of mind that they are taking the best care of their vehicles,” said Dean Gilbert, Country Chairman of Caltex Malaysia. 

Caltex believes in always making every journey easier, better, and happier toward the future of mobility. Caltex Havoline Fully Synthetic Hybrid SAE 0W-20 is now available at select Caltex service stations and Caltex Havoline autoPro workshops.
