TriShield is a unique triple-action technology that attracts, captures, and disperses particles that can build up in engines and causes sludge buildup. It stops small particles from becoming big problems and protects the car you rely on. This innovative technology uses a polymer that contains two chemical hooks that attract and capture both sludge and soot in a single molecule, helping to prevent particles from building up. With TriShield Technology, Castrol has improved the potency and protection that GTX provides.
This led to the development of the forward application handbrake, which has given several drivers in the Funny Car class quicker access to the brakes. Though Force only finished seventh in the points in 2008, he became influential within the NHRA for innovations in driver safety. Castrol® GTX® is a premium conventional motor oil that has been helping to extend the life of engines since it was first introduced in 1968. Its double-action formula cleans away old sludge and prevents new sludge formation even more effectively than tough industry standards demand. It’s hard to give a specific time or mileage figure because the life of a filter depends on how much debris it ingests. A filter that lasts 20,000 or even 30,000 miles on a vehicle that is driven mostly on interstates may last only a month or two in a rural setting where the vehicle is driven frequently on dusty gravel roads.
