[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Yoon-joo] GS Caltex (CEO Heo Se-hong) announced on the 15th that it has launched Kixx HYBRID, the first engine oil exclusively for hybrid vehicles among domestic oil refiners.

GS Caltex Kixx HYBRID is a low-viscosity lubricant product designed to keep pace with the rapid growth of the hybrid vehicle market. Using high-performance additives combined with the high-quality base oils produced by GS Caltex, it enhances fuel efficiency and engine component protection.

Kixx HYBRID will first be introduced as an initial limited edition product packaged in a special tin container (Tin-Can), and various events commemorating this launch will be held. Free trial events through hybrid vehicle clubs and prize giveaways for general customers will take place.
