TVS Motor Company, two-wheelers and three-wheelers manufacturer, has partnered with Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) to launch a new engine oil - TRU4 KRAAFT, for the Indian market.
TRU4 KRAAFT oil, a semi synthetic engine oil, has been developed in association with IOCL. The engine oil formulation aims to enhance the smoothness of the engine and enhances riding comfort.
Speaking after releasing the company’s new product, K Venkateswarlu, Senior Vice President – Parts Business, TVS Motor Company, said “We understand the criticality of a having a well-balanced engine oil formulation to extend the health of the vehicle. With TRU4 KRAAFT, we have created a product which enhances engine durability and assures maximum fuel economy. The product has undergone rigorous testing to meet relevant standards. We believe that when the customers experience its first-hand benefits, the oil will find wide acceptance across the after-market.”
D L Pramodh, Executive Director, IndianOil, Karnataka State said “The new high performance engine oil offers maximum output, performance in terms of oxidation stability and wear protection at high temperatures and at severe operating conditions, high fuel efficiency, outstanding cleanliness and potential oil drain period of more than 5,000 kms.”
the company said TRU4 KRAAFT oil has a thermal oxidation which resists application temperatures beyond 140 degree Celsius to mitigate thickening tendency of the oil. Further, the formulation can disperse and keep sludge deposits away from the critical locations of the engine to ensure the cleanliness of the engine. The friction modifiers added in the formulation aid smooth clutch operation thus keeping the clutch durable. This ensures that the gears are protected against pitting and noise with the minimum viscosity variations enhancing engine durability.
The engine oil is to be distributed through the Indian Oil Company distributors and retail networks across the country. It is available in the packaging of 900 ml and 1 litre.
