Winmax Multi-Synthetic Engine Oil developed based on Promax‘s own formulation, blend and produced by us using German technology for all passenger cars.
New Winmax 10W40 Multi-Synthetic Engine Oils Improves Engine Performance
Promax Lubricants Sdn Bhd unveiled its new ester-based Winmax 10W40 multi-synthetic engine oil recently during its 2019 gala dinner. Held on 8th December at the HGH Convention Centre, Kuala Lumpur, the event was well attended by 600 people, including guests, business associates and media.
“The launch of this new engine oil marked a major milestone on Promax’s product roadmap. It has been developed based on our own formulation, blend and produced by us using German technology for all passenger cars (gasoline or diesel engine). As compared to the normal fully synthetic, our new Winmax 10W40 multi-synthetic engine oil is ester based, which protects and helps improve engine performance, as well as maximising fuel economy,” said Managing Director Kit Choi.
The properties that esters hold, he explained, benefit specific applications, especially in severe conditions which call for high performance lubricants. Apart from excellent overall lubricity, esters offer higher viscosity indexes, low temperature fluidity, low volatility, high thermal stability and oxidation resistance. In addition, they improve cleanliness and sludge control.
Targeted at the mid-high market segment, the recommended retail price for a 4-litre pack is RM160.
“We have tested it on 300 vehicles, and the recommendation for an oil change interval is 7,000 – 8,000km. Winmax 10W40 contains a higher percentage of esters as compared to the current products in the same class that are available in the market, that means it is quite costly for us, but we would like to share it with our customers and benefit the consumers,” he added.
From Trading Company to Manufacturer
Promax Lubricants, formerly known as Win Lubricants Sdn Bhd, was established in 2007. With Choi’s 30 years of experience under his belt, the company has become one of the fastest growing companies in supplying automotive and industrial lubricants through their wide distribution network to the high street market and industrial sector in Malaysia.
Promax Lubricants pride themselves for having being able to evolve from a trading company to a manufacturer with products exported to Africa. “Our blending operation began 2 years ago, and today we have our own Research and Development (R&D) team.”
He added that engine oil produced by Malaysia is widely accepted in Southeast Asia and China. They have plans to export to Vietnam and Cambodia.
“We are producing under ISO 9001:2015 certified environmental, an internationally recognised standard that ensures that our products and services meet the needs of our clients through an effective quality management system.”
Locally, the company has a network that consists of tyre shops, car service centres, logistics and transport companies, as well as quarry company and a sales team of 16 people that covers all of Peninsular Malaysia. With the network expansion plan in place, Choi is looking to add another 4 sales personnel to the company’s sales force.
Besides production, the company also handles its own marketing activities, packaging design and selection.
All products covered by Product Liability Insurance
Currently, the product portfolio of Promax Lubricants covers fully synthetic and semi synthetic engine oils for passenger cars, mineral, diesel engine oil, ATF, brake fluid, coolant, gear oil, hydraulic oil and industrial oil. Their fully synthetic series include Winmax Supreme Nano OW20, a synthetic high-performance engine oil for US, European, Japanese and Asian made cars; Winmax Supreme Nano 5W50, an advanced technology 100 per cent fully synthetic motor oil that is engineered using a high quality synthetic base oil to which a high performance additive is added. It is said that its special formulation exceeds the requirements of global automobile manufacturers, suitable for Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, Volkswagen, Japanese and Asian made cars.
Also available is a semi synthetic range, which includes Winmax Supreme Ultra Semi Synthetic 5W30, 10W40, 15W50, Winmax Super Active Part Synthetic 15W40 and Part Synthetic 20W50.
He revealed that new products scheduled to be launched next year after Lunar year include Winmax Supreme Ester 5W30 fully synthetic engine oil that is catered for Japanese cars such as Toyota, Nissan and Perodua made of vehicles and the Winmax Supreme PAO Ester 10W60 fully synthetic, developed mainly for drivers in search of a high-performance engine oil.
“Apart from the passenger car segment, we ventured into the commercial vehicle sector with our heavy-duty engine oil about one and half years ago. We also become an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for a company’s construction equipment, whereby we developed a special three in one engine oil for them. To instil confidence, all our products are covered by Product Liability Insurance worth RM 1,000,000.”
It’s almost the end of the year, and despite the downturn of the Malaysian economy, Choi announced that they have doubled up their profit as compared to last year. He attributed this success to their consistency in product quality. “We have bought over the current premises that we located, which housed our head office and warehouse, and we are going to set up our own lab after the Lunar year next year.”
During the launch, the company gave away more than RM 50,000 lucky draw prizes, including an RM 5,000 grand prize, RM 3,000 second prize and RM 2,000 third prize with a bottle of the new ester-based Winmax 10W40 multi-synthetic engine oil respectively. Choi added that almost 55 per cent of the attendees walked away with the lucky draw prizes, which was a bottle of the new Winmax 10W40 multi-synthetic engine oil.
Other products that the company carries include Unil Opal lubricants from France, for which they are the sole distributor for the Malaysian market, and their own house brand – Voltanic batteries.
Promax 润滑油推出Winmax 多合成引擎机油
Promax 润滑油私人有限公司在其2019年的晚宴推出最新的酯基Winmax 10W40 多合成引擎机油。这个在吉隆坡HGH 会议中心盛大举行的晚宴，出席人数达600人，包括嘉宾、商业伙伴及媒体。
“这款全新引擎机油的推出是Promax产品路线图上的一个重要里程碑。它的配方是我们自己研发出来，并采用德国技术混炼生产而成，适合汽油和柴油轿车引擎使用。与一般的全合成引擎机油相比，我们全新的Winmax 10W40是酯基多合成引擎机油，能够保护和协助改善引擎性能，以及最大化提高燃油经济。”董事经理徐国杰表示。
他解释说，酯的特性为特定应用带来好处，特别是需要采用高性能润滑油的艰难状况。除了卓越的整体润滑性，酯拥有较高的粘度指数、较低的温度流动性、易便性低、高热稳定性及抗氧化。此外，它还可改善清洁和控制沉淀物。
该引擎机油锁定高端市场，4升装的建议零售价格为160 令吉。
“我们曾将它用于300 辆车上进行测试，建议的机油更换周期是7,000至8,000公里。相较于现有的同级产品，Winmax 10W40含有更高百分比的酯。这也意味着我们的成本相当高，但我们想要与客户分享和使消费者获益。”他补充。

今年已经接近尾声，徐国杰宣布说，尽管马来西亚的经济放缓，该公司的利润却比去年增长了双倍。他将该成就归功于一致性的产品品质。“我们买下了我们目前的办公大楼，除了总公司外，还包含仓库，我们也计划在农历年后在这里设立自己的实验室。”
该公司在推介礼中送出了总值50，000令吉的幸运抽奖奖品，包括头奖5，000令吉现金、第二奖
