The old generation 2T lubricant mixed with petrol and used in two Wheeler contributes more than 70% of the pollutants emitted from the Engines.

By careful selection of the base oil mixed with the right quality and quantity of Synthetic oil and the right blend of performance additives, the emission level can be greatly reduced.
