Questions for the JAYTEC brand

How do you read "JAYTEC"? Does it express any special meaning?

Read it as two syllables "jay" and "tec". The "JAY" represents the sound of "J" in JAPAN, and the "TEC" expresses "technology". JAPAN TECHNOLOGY, in other words, the name means "Japanese technology".

Where does JAYTEC manufacture the products?

All of our products are manufactured in Japan.
JAYTEC brand oils and chemicals are produced by Japan's leading manufacturers of the oil industry.

What are some unique characteristics that JAYTEC products provide drivers?
What advantages do JAYTEC lubricants deliver to customers?

JAYTEC manages a diverse, wide-ranging product lineup designed to support all possible applications:
all vehicle types, from domestic to imported, commercial to high performance.
all driving styles, from stop-and-go street driving to hi-way touring and racing.
all driving environments, from city to off-road.
all climates, from arctic cold winter to hottest summer.
all technical condition, from brand new to high-mileage.
Our goal is to offer drivers the oil that is most appropriate for each particular case and that is affordable for any level of budget.
Another advantage of JAYTEC oils is the diversity of packing options that will meet the requirements of any oil dealer, from a retail auto-parts shop specializing in 1L and 4L cans, to car service stations which primarily operate with 20L pails and drums.
Particularly, our lineup provides 1L capped cans for most engine oils that we manufacture, which makes the storage of the left oil more convenient. It also allows drivers to keep the can in the car for adding engine oil when required, which is the case when oil consumption is an issue. This option is rarely found in Japan nowadays but it is a strong selling point for automotive oils at the overseas markets.
