Pertamina Lubricants, a subsidiary of Indonesian state-owned oil and gas company PT Pertamina, has collaborated with the Lamborghini automotive company to conduct research on lubricants for high-tech and superfast vehicles.
Pertamina has been conducting joint research with Lamborghini producing lubricants such as Fastron Platinum SAE OW-40 for upscale cars, and Fastron Platinum Racing SAE 10W-60 for sports cars. The lubricant testing was carried out in Italy.
The Fastron Racing Platinum oil has been tested and has obtained specific approval from Lamborghini. Pertamina Fastron, a synthetic lubricant, has been adopted as the official lubricant at 129 Lamborghini dealerships worldwide.
President Director of Pertamina Lubricants, Gigih W.H. Irianto said "The reliability of Pertamina lubricants, which have received recognition from Lamborghini, was proven by the election of Pertamina as a technical partner of Automobili Lamborghini for motorsport named the Lamborghini Super Trofeo and the Lamborghini GT3". This cooperation will continue for the 2015 to 2019 period," he said.
Pertamina has also launched three other new lubricants, namely Fastron Gold 5W-40 and Fastron Gold 0W-20, for modern and advanced engine technology vehicles. Another variant is Fastron Techno 10W-30, which has been designed for daily use and fuel efficiency.
