Havoline is the oil of champions. For over 100 years, it's been widely recognised around the world for its outstanding quality and superior performance. Whether bouncing along in a turn-of-the-century classic automobile, or racing at speeds of over 380kmh in a finely-tuned racing car, generations of car owners have counted on Havoline to protect their engines.
Introduced in 1906, Havoline was one of the first engine oils to be manufactured for the lubrication of the automobile internal combustion engine. Today the Havoline family of engine oils are some of the most extensively tested oils available, and are acknowledged for meeting or exceeding the automotive industry’s requirements for performance.
Behind every drop of Caltex Havoline formula is a concept called 'Proof of Performance'. A philosophy and commitment that means Havoline customers can purchase similar high quality oil that champion drivers such as Russell Ingall and Craig Lowndes use in their racing cars.
Neal Bates and Coral Taylor
The undisputed king and queen of the Australian Rally Championship, Neal Bates and Coral Taylor from Toyota Rally, are the first pairing in Australian rally history to win three consecutive championships. Neal was something of a prodigy when he first stepped into a rally car at the age of 18, and Coral has racing in her blood (her father is the rally veteran Norm Fritter).
In over 20 years of racing, their passion has never waned. They work together flawlessly under incredible pressure, and depend on the excellence of their team to be successful. After all, it's the team behind the team, from the mechanics to the engineers, managers to the sponsors, who also put in the extra effort that being a champion demands.
As Neal states "Rallying is a mix of road legal machinery, and the toughest forest roads in the country, throw into this temperatures from 5 below though to 40 plus and you have an environment that tests every single component in the car, it's good to know that we've got Caltex Havoline oils as part of our team."
We at Caltex are proud that such a powerhouse racing organisation relies on Havoline to protect their engines in every race.
