Gulf x McLaren AutomotiveA New Age of Technical Excellence
Gulf and McLaren share a desire for excellence while striving to be the best. In January 2021, we entered a new dawn in our collaboration with McLaren Automotive as we established a partnership with this famous British supercar manufacturer.
We developed Gulf Formula Elite specifically to deal with the demands of a supercar engine. Our Gulf Formula Elite lubricant was created in collaboration with McLaren Automotive to provide an oil that offers peak engine performance. Gulf is now the first fill lubricant all McLaren supercars are filled with when they come off the McLaren production line at the McLaren Production Centre in Woking, England.
Superior performance, ultimate protection and cutting-edge technology define our Gulf Formula Elite engine oil. Through our partnership with McLaren Automotive, we both strive for innovation and position ourselves at the forefront of engine oil technology.
