Caltex engine oil is a Singaporean brand. Caltex was formed in 1936 as a joint venture between Chevron and Texaco, two major oil companies, which later merged in 2001 to become ChevronTexaco, adopting the name Chevron-Texaco for the company. History of Caltex: In 1999, Caltex relocated its operational headquarters from the United States to Singapore and restructured from a geographical division to a departmental division, aiming to meet the challenges of the 21st century. In 2001, when parent companies Chevron and Texaco merged, Caltex became part of Chevron. Additional Information: On January 22, 2019, LG Electronics signed a memorandum of understanding with GS Caltex, South Korea's second-largest gas station operator, to launch a new hybrid gas station that provides refueling services for traditional fuel vehicles while also offering charging and maintenance services for electric vehicles.

As an experienced automotive technician with nearly two decades of service at dealerships, I've witnessed the performance of various motor oils firsthand. Caltex is actually a global brand under Chevron, primarily active in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, where it's ubiquitous at gas stations. I personally hold a favorable view of its motor oil product line, such as full synthetic and semi-synthetic oils, which offer good reliability, reduce engine noise, and extend engine life. On one occasion, a car owner switched to Caltex's premium series, and the reduction in engine wear was noticeable, which left a deep impression on me. Compared to Shell or Mobil, Caltex is more affordable with better cost-performance, making it suitable for everyday drivers. When choosing oil, I recommend consulting your vehicle's manual instead of blindly following trends—this way, your beloved car can run longer and smoother.

Is it necessary to shift to N gear when having Auto Hold?

Cars equipped with the Auto Hold function do not require shifting to N gear during temporary stops. Auto Hold is essentially an automatic braking feature. When waiting at traffic lights, there is no need to engage the handbrake or electronic parking brake, and consequently, there's no need to change gears. However, in situations of severe traffic congestion where the vehicle remains stationary for extended periods, it is advisable to deactivate the Auto Hold function and switch to manual control by shifting to neutral (N gear). This practice helps protect the transmission and engine, thereby extending their service life. The English term for Auto Hold is 'AutoHold,' and its button is typically marked with a capital letter 'A' or the full English spelling. It relies on an intelligent braking system to function.

Matching RPM and Gears in Manual Transmission?

Manual transmission vehicles require proper gear-speed synchronization as follows: 1st gear at 15 km/h; 2nd gear at 25 km/h; 3rd gear at 35 km/h; 4th gear at 55 km/h; 5th gear at 65 km/h or above. Manual transmission, also called manual gearbox, represents a fundamental type of automotive transmission system. Its primary function is to alter the gear ratio (also known as the torque ratio) by utilizing larger-diameter low-gear wheels based on the lever principle's torque mechanism, thereby amplifying engine torque to initiate vehicle movement. A manual transmission consists of three core components: the gear mechanism, transmission housing, and shift linkage assembly.
