TOC and Toyo Lubricants ink RM500,000 sponsorship deal

The Otomotif College (TOC) has sealed a 3-year sponsorship deal worth RM500,000 with homegrown lubricant manufacturer Toyo Lubrication (M) Sdn Bhd to support and provide input to the college’s training syllabus. Not to be confused with the Japanese tyre making company, Toyo Lubrication is the first grease and lubricant manufacturer in Malaysia to be certified by the United States-based National Lubricating Grease Institute (NLGI).

Under the terms of a memorandum of understanding signed today, Toyo Lubrication will provide a complete range of its products such as engine oil, degreaser, coolant, greases, gear oil, and transmission, brake and power steering fluids to be used at TOC’s training workshops.

TOC’s Motorsport Team is also set to benefit greatly from the sponsorship. Toyo Lubrication will supply the team with high performance engine and gear oils, high temperature constant velocity joint and wheel bearing greases, brake fluids and engine coolant.

The team’s Proton Satria Neo R3 used Toyo Lubrication’s engine oil for the first time, specifically the Titanium 8000 15W-40 semi-synthetic oil, last year and posted its best-ever result. From failing to finish in previous races, it finished a credible seventh out of 28 teams at the 2013 Sepang 1000KM (S1K) Endurance Race.  TOC Motorsport Team also finished seventh out of 22 teams at the recently concluded Malaysian Super Series Round 1 at Sepang,

Toyo Lubrication, which started off contract-manufacturing lubricants and greases for established international brands since 1997, will also sponsor new equipment for TOC’s training workshops such as transparent engine simulator, coolant and brake fluid tester and lubricant bay equipment such as engine oil flushing machine, oil collector and washing bay.
