Castrol Malaysia today announced the expansion of its sponsorship in the Motorsports Association of Malaysia (MAM) Malaysian Cub Prix Championship through its racing programme with Yuzy Racing. At the same time, the company introduced Castrol POWER1 ULTIMATE Scooter 10W-40, reinforcing its continued commitment to performance engineering across both competitive racing and everyday scooter mobility.

Under the expanded arrangement, Castrol’s championship sponsorship now covers both the CP150 and CP125 categories, two of the premier underbone (“cub”) racing classes in the championship. On track, Castrol is represented through Yuzy Racing, which fields three bikes in the CP150 category and one in CP125. This broader participation strengthens Castrol’s presence across multiple displacement classes within Malaysia’s leading underbone racing platform, while reinforcing its commitment to rider development and the advancement of technical performance standards.

Launched alongside this initiative, Castrol POWER1 ULTIMATE Scooter 10W-40 is a premium fully synthetic engine oil formulated for modern scooters operating in high-heat, high-friction environments. Designed to support acceleration while delivering sustained protection under load, the formulation helps maintain stable performance across prolonged urban riding conditions. The Cub Prix signing event was attended by Aqeel Danish, Ahmad Darwisy, Mr. Gan Wee Kiong, Shahrol Yuzy, Azrooy Hakeem, and Shahrol Syazaras.

“Cub Prix is one of Malaysia’s most competitive two-wheel racing platforms, where both rider and machine are pushed to perform consistently,” said Joshua Tan, Head of Marketing for Malaysia, Singapore & Philippines. “By extending our sponsorship across both the CP150 and CP125 categories, we are strengthening our presence in an environment where performance is continuously tested under race conditions, while also supporting the teams and emerging talent driving the championship forward.” He added that this emphasis on consistency is reflected in Castrol POWER1 ULTIMATE Scooter 10W-40, noting that everyday riding conditions such as heat, stop-start traffic, and long operating hours demand reliable performance, and that the brand’s 5-in-1 Full Synthetic technology is designed to deliver smoother engine operation and enhanced protection against heat and wear in real-world conditions.

Gan Wee Kiong, Country Sales Director for Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines at Castrol, said Cub Prix serves as an important platform for developing racing talent and evaluating performance under real racing conditions. He added that insights gained from motorsports contribute to the development of better products for everyday riders. With the scooter segment continuing to grow in Malaysia, he noted that Castrol POWER1 ULTIMATE Scooter reflects the company’s focus on supporting both racing performance and the needs of daily riders, while ensuring compliance with the quality and regulatory standards expected in the Malaysian market.

Across Malaysia, scooters are widely used under demanding daily conditions, ranging from urban commuting to work-related travel and delivery services. These operating environments place sustained thermal and mechanical stress on engines over long hours of use, making lubrication performance a key factor in reliability rather than just a technical specification. Castrol POWER1 ULTIMATE Scooter 10W-40 is developed with these requirements in mind, reflecting the company’s focus on engineering solutions that perform consistently in real-world operating conditions and meet the standards expected by riders and service centres during maintenance, where dependable protection over actual mileage remains a priority.

Castrol POWER1 ULTIMATE Scooter 10W-40 is currently undergoing final regulatory approval and is expected to be available in the Malaysian market from May 2026 onwards, following SIRIM certification. The product is already in production at Castrol’s manufacturing facility in Port Klang. SIRIM certification, a regulatory requirement for engine oils in Malaysia, ensures that products meet national quality and performance standards before entering the market.
