The Salvador Caetano South Africa group which is the official distributor of JMC (Jiangling Motors Corporation) and GAC motors has officially announced partnership with Sasol, to create special oils and lubricants specific to JMC and GAC models. This alliance ensures that after sales and service will be as smooth and reliable as ever for all customers.
This move stamps JMC and GAC’s commitment to offering South Africans good quality, reliability, and customer satisfaction across its rapidly expanding South African dealer network. By doing so they are also elimanating any more doubts that are generally had about Chinese brands being a questionable investment long term.
“For GAC Motor South Africa, delivering excellence extends far beyond the showroom,” said Nash Budhram, Aftersales Director at Salvador Caetano South Africa. “Partnering with Sasol and Sunita Energies allows us to reinforce the integrity of our vehicles through genuine lubricants engineered specifically for GAC engines, ensuring peak performance, protection, and long-term customer confidence.”
Developed using Sasol’s advanced formulation technology, these genuine JMC/GAC lubricants are engineered to enhance engine efficiency, durability, and performance under South Africa’s diverse driving conditions.
“At JMC South Africa, we’re building more than a brand, we’re building relationships based on trust, quality, and consistency,” said Nash Budhram, Aftersales Director at Salvador Caetano South Africa. “Partnering with Sasol and Sunita Energies strengthens our ability to provide reliable, genuine products that protect vehicle performance and support our customers year after year.”
Nonhlanhla Metsing, Senior Manager: Lubricants at Sasol, concluded: “This collaboration is about more than product supply.Iit’s about building confidence and long-term partnerships. Together, we’re ensuring JMC customers receive world-class protection and performance at every stage of ownership.”
