Castrol Receives SIRIM Certification for Full Range of Engine Oil Products in Malaysia

Selecting the correct engine oil for our motorcycle is already a daunting task, and that’s before adding the concern of whether the oil manufacturer cand truly stand behind their claims, or whether it is genuine. This is why certification is imperative. Enter SIRIM (Standards and Industrial Research Institute of Malaysia), who are the trusted standards certification authority in Malaysia. Very few motor oils in the market are certified by SIRIM, but now Castrol has received SIRIM certification for their full range of engine oil products.

As such, we will find the SIRIM label (which includes the letters “KPDN”) on Castrol motor products, putting our fears to rest. Indeed, the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) say they will begin enforcing the new regulation to certify engine oils to the latest standards and putting a stop to counterfeiting beginning October 2025.

FROM THE PRESS RELEASE

Castrol, a leading and trusted global lubricants brand, is proud to announce that its full range of engine oil products sold in Malaysia has been officially certified by SIRIM QAS International under the SIRIM 58 Standard – Certification Scheme for Genuine Product (Engine Oil for Motor Vehicles). This certification reinforces Castrol’s continued leadership in quality and consumer protection, while highlighting its proactive compliance with the latest regulatory standards set by the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN).

In the coming months, Castrol’s full range of engine oil products will be marked with the official SIRIM certification. Updated packaging will be rolled out in phases nationwide to help consumers easily verify authenticity and enjoy greater peace of mind when making a purchase.
