PETRONAS today
launched the PETRONAS Tutela Transmission ATF-XP4 (PETRONAS Tutela), a
technologically advanced premium automatic transmission fluid (ATF) formulated
for vehicles with SP-IV specification especially
for six speed transmission and other vehicles that require low viscosity ATF. It
is specifically developed in collaboration with one of PDB’s long-standing
Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) partners, Malaysia’s leading automotive
distributor Naza Kia Malaysia Sdn Bhd.
The new transmission fluid, which is an innovative offering of PETRONAS’
Fluid Technology Solutions™ (FTS™), is designed and developed to deliver
outstanding fuel efficiency and excellent gear shift performance. Formulated with premium quality synthetic
base fluids and high performance additives technology, the PETRONAS Tutela also
provides superior results in anti-shudder performance and enhanced friction durability, oxidation
stability and effectively stays in grades, low temperature fluidity and
protection against wear, corrosion, sludge or other harmful deposits.
Independent
third party laboratory tests have confirmed that the PETRONAS Tutela has
enhanced friction durability as compared to other fluids, which translates to
excellent gear shift performance. In addition, an on-site testing with Naza Kia
Malaysia in an actual driving condition within Malaysia has received positive
feedback in terms of the overall performance and gear shift.
Speaking at the launch, Mohd Shobri Abu
Bakar, General Manager of Lubricants Business Division said, “As the leading
retailer and marketer of downstream petroleum products, PDB is committed to
deliver only the best in the industry for our partners.”
“Through our relationship with OEM partners,
we are constantly a step ahead of the automotive trend – understand what the
industry requires and deliver on this need. With this understanding, PDB has actively
worked with our partners by introducing products that meet the demands of our
partners and customers,” he added.
Mohd Shobri
explained, “Our Fluid Technology Solutions™, which encapsulates the
involvement of PETRONAS’ technical experts at the laboratory, right through the
F1™ race track and well on to the road, allows us to design, develop and
deliver high performing fluids to meet stringent quality demands.”
“With PETRONAS’ FTS™ capability, PDB has
successfully developed a fluid of world-class quality that delivers excellence
in gear shift performance and enhances fuel efficiency,” he added.
PDB is the
first oil company in Malaysia to introduce this type of transmission fluid
solution. The PETRONAS Tutela that comes in a pack of 1 Litre and 18 Litres, is
