​Orlen Oil, a leading manufacturer of oils and lubricants for automotive and industrial use, introduces its
offer comprising 8 new oils from the PLATINUM Rider line: 6 for two-wheelers equipped with four-stroke engines and 2 for two-wheelers with two-stroke engines.

In accordance with changes in legislation introduced in the middle of the last year, it is now allowed for persons who hold B category driving license for at least three years to drive motorcycles with capacity of up to 125 cm3 and power not exceeding 11 kW. Until that time B category driving license authorised its holder to drive only mopeds and scooters with capacity of up to 50 cm3. As it has been observed already since July 2014 this change in legislation triggered a significant increase in the sale of two-wheelers. Various sources indicate that the upward trend still persists and is expected to last at least until the end of 2015. The biggest sale is the most noticeable in the segment of motorcycles with engine capacity of 125 cm3.

The changes observed in the automotive industry mean also a challenge for motor oil manufacturers. Orlen Oil following the trends in the market, not only Polish, but also European, decided to develop a comprehensive line of engine oils designed just for two-wheelers, inspired by the latest technological trends.

PLATINUM Rider line covers 8 products: 6 oils for four-stroke engines and 2 oils for two-wheelers with two-stroke engines. 4T engine oils fulfil the latest quality requirements, especially API and JASO in various viscosity grades. The offer covers synthetic, semisynthetic and mineral oils. The unique formula for four-stroke engine oils has been developed based on the HTS – High Temperature Stability technology. An objective and advantage of the highly advanced HTS formula is to ensure effective lubrication of the engine, clutch and gear of every two-wheeler, not just when driving on the road but also under extreme operating conditions such as motorsport. HTS is a guarantee of maximum use of engine power while reducing sediment and ensuring efficient heat dissipation. PLATINUM Rider oils have endurance guarantee confirmed by motorcycle "ORLEN TEAM”.

The unique HTS technology means:

• excellent piston cleanliness;
• enhanced thermo-oxidative stability of oil;
• enhanced shear stability under conditions of increased engine load in high
  temperature;
• extended engine life;
• excellent lubrication and protection of the clutch and gear;
• effective protection against excessive gear wear;
• increased engine power and acceleration.
