Kixx lubricants, David pointed out are made in Korea by the GS Caltex Corporation (formally called the LG Caltex Corporation), one of the top synthetic base oil producers in the world. Jointly owned by GS and Caltex, the company currently exports more than 70 per cent of its products to 63 countries. Caltex is a petroleum-based division brand of the Chevron Corporation while LG was formerly named Lucky-Goldstar.
A great advantage of GS Caltex materials, David noted is that they have recently incorporated more - tic) into their lubricants. This material can replace certain metal parts in vehicles and by doing this well as the associated emissions reductions for passenger cars.

only fully and semi-synthetic oil, which meets the requirements of the top-tier engine oil grade of a lot from this grade of engine oil. Its high-qual- against wear that can cause engine power loss and higher fuel consumption. Dave added that suppresses any potential for LSPI phenomena that occasionally occur in combustion chambers of T-GDI engines.
Other advantages, he continued, include im- proved engine power and maintainability through a reduction in the piston blow-by gas coupled with the oil’s anti-sludge characteristics, which helps to maintain engine power and cleanliness that in turn extends the engine’s service life. Enhanced fuel economy as the wide temperature range capabil- ity of VHVI and HVI based oils ensures correct oil viscosity that reduces friction upon start-up. The oils provide maximum lubrication under high tem- perature operating conditions.
The excellent oxidation resistance and low volatility of this high-grade engine oil will extend oil drainage intervals. Last but not least, it can maintain wear re-
