Jakarta (ANTARA News) - The Indonesian state-owned oil and gas enterprise, Pertamina Lubricants, has collaborated with the Lamborghini automotive company to conduct research on lubricants for and high-tech and superfast vehicles.

"Pertamina Lubricants is committed to continuing innovation in developing its products to meet the needs of the automotive industry in Indonesia and the world. This is supported by research and development facilities, as well as production facilities owned by Pertamina," the President Director of Pertamina Lubricants, Gigih W.H. Irianto said on Tuesday.

Pertamina has been conducting joint research with Lamborghini for special lubricant products. The research has produced 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 lubricant has been tested and has obtained specific approval from Lamborghini.

Irianto added that 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.

"Pertamina Fastron is trusted and has been named as the official lubricant in every super Trofeo race and is fully supported by the Lamborghini GT3 team, which competes in world championships. This cooperation will continue for the 2015 to 2019 period," he said.

Pertamina Fastron has also been adopted as the official lubricant at 129 Lamborghini dealerships worldwide.

"This flagship product has strengthened Pertamina lubricants existence in the international super car arena," Irianto remarked.

Pertamina Lubricants created the Fastron lubricant with nanotechnology. It is a high-quality synthetic lubricant that protects the engine, while providing reliability and optimal speed.

The state-owned enterprise has also launched three other new lubricant variants, 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.(*)
