New GTX Formulations from Castrol for Renault Vehicles

As part of our ongoing efforts to meet the latest industry specifications and original equipment manufacturers' requirements, we have launched two new low-viscosity GTX formulations for Renault vehicles. The fully synthetic Castrol GTX 0W-16 AN2022 and Castrol GTX 0W-20 RN17 FE lubricants deliver optimal performance and help extend component life, even at low engine temperatures.

Castrol GTX 0W-16 AN2022

Castrol GTX 0W-16 AN2022 has been specifically developed to meet the standards of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance, Renault's AN2022 requirements, and the industry's API SP specifications. This product is designed for vehicles meeting Euro 7 standards equipped with petrol engines marketed since 2022 (excluding RS and Alpine vehicles) and provides excellent sludge protection and piston-cleaning properties that help improve lubricant consumption.

Compatible engines with Castrol GTX 0W-16 AN2022 include the 1.2 TCe Mild Hybrid and the 1.2 TCe E-TECH Full Hybrid of the new Renault Austral.

Castrol GTX 0W-20 RN17 FE

Castrol GTX 0W-20 RN17 FE meets the ACEA industrial specification C5 and is approved according to Renault's RN17FE standard. This new lubricant is designed for specific Renault and Dacia vehicles equipped with petrol and diesel engines marketed since 2018 (excluding RS and Alpine vehicles). The RN17FE standard is not backward compatible with any other Renault standards, such as RN0700, RN0710, RN0720, RN17, or RN17 RSA.

Compatible engines with Castrol GTX 0W-20 RN17 FE include the 1.0 TCe found in the Renault Clio V, Dacia Sandero II, Jogger, and Duster II, the 1.3 TCe included in the Renault Clio V, Arkana, Austral, and Kadjar, and the 1.5 Blue dCi found in the Renault Captur II, Megane IV, and Dacia Duster II. This new Castrol lubricant is also compatible with the MHEV 1.3 DIG-T engine included in the Nissan Qashqai.

Castrol GTX 0W-16 AN2022 is available in 1 and 5-liter containers, while Castrol GTX 0W-20 RN17 FE is available in 1, 5, 60, and 208-liter containers. All products are now available.
