Leisure boating, in its many forms, is enjoyed more today than ever before. Each year thousands of new enthusiasts discover this special thrill and as interest has grown, so has the design and technology surrounding it. Today's goal is to design craft that are both fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly.

Marine engine designers are continually exploring new ways to reduce emissions, create greater fuel efficiency, lengthen engine life and create greater reliability. However, the success of these engines depends on the specialist product formulations that lubricate them. The result of Castrol's research into this area is a new boating lubricant range - an example of brilliant lubricant technology.
