Napoli, ITALY – 10 February 2026 – PETRONAS Lubricants International (PLI) today announced the launch of its all-new PETRONAS Syntium range across Europe, Africa and the Middle East (EMEA), delivering advanced solutions engineered to empower mechanics, motorists, and champions of everyday mobility.
Built on decades of motorsport heritage and technical excellence, PLI remains a trusted partner for uncompromising engine reliability and performance. The upgraded PETRONAS Syntium range introduces a streamlined, structured portfolio with optimised formulations, simplifying the selection process for professionals and motorists while meeting the latest OEM specifications. Whether on the racing circuit or the daily commute, this enhanced range empowers users to navigate future challenges with confidence and superior engine protection.
“The evolving challenges of the automotive industry require us to do more than simply adapt. Our customers, mechanics and drivers alike, need tailored solutions that keep them one move ahead on the road,” said Giuseppe Pedretti, Regional Managing Director EMEA of PETRONAS Lubricants International. “The new PETRONAS Syntium range is engineered to deliver much improved performance, protection, and efficiency. With advanced formulations designed to meet the needs of traditional and modern powertrains, PLI is empowering everyday champions to drive forward with confidence, in any condition.”
The enhanced PETRONAS Syntium range features three tailored variants – PETRONAS Syntium Supreme, PETRONAS Syntium Prime, PETRONAS Syntium X plus PETRONAS Syntium Hybrid – designed to meet unique driving demands and engine requirements. Reflecting PLI’s commitment to both user experience and sustainability, the range features an intuitive new visual language for immediate clarity, including the application of a new packaging colour-coding system (gold for Supreme & Hybrid, emerald green for Prime, and grey for X) that enables instant product recognition and adoption of post-consumer recycled (PCR) resin.
This customer-first approach and commitment to sustainability extend beyond branding and packaging to the technologies drivers rely on every day. As part of the PETRONAS Syntium range, PETRONAS Syntium Hybrid has been specifically developed to meet the growing presence and unique demands of hybrid vehicles on today’s roads, standing out as one of the world’s first dedicated lubricants for hybrid engines. It manages constant change and stays one move ahead by anticipating the unique challenges of hybrid powertrains, frequent stop and start cycles, lower operating temperatures, and increased fuel and water dilution.
The unique advantages of the enhanced PETRONAS Syntium product range are:
- PETRONAS Syntium Supreme: Unlocks cutting edge performance and protection for high end engines, with CoolTech+™ technology, which reduces engine wear, extends parts life, and maximises efficiency, ensuring up to 13% improved fuel efficiency.
