Castrol VECTON
Discover how Castrol VECTON tackles extreme engine conditions with System Pro Technology™ for longer useful oil life. Giving you confidence in your maximum drain interval to maximise your profit.
For longer useful oil life
Modern trucks use new technologies to create as much as 30% higher torque, causing higher engine temperatures and extreme pressures. This can lead to accelerated oxidation, oil thickening, increased build-up of deposits, and rapid depletion of the oil's acid-controlling reserves. Each reduces useful oil life – pushing the oil closer to breakdown.
Castrol VECTON with System Pro Technology™ delivers up to 45% extra performance reserve* that fights oil breakdown by helping to control oxidation, reduce deposits, neutralise harmful acids, and also adapts to higher temperatures under extreme engine conditions.
For longer useful oil life, giving you confidence in your maximum drain interval to maximise your profit.
Combats
High temperatures can accelerate the rate of oxidation and oil thickening. This reduces the flow to vital engine parts.
Castrol VECTON with System Pro Technology™ combats oxidation and oil thickening to help protect your engine from heat damage.
Controls
An increase in the build-up of deposits can reduce efficiency and increase blow-by.
Castrol VECTON with System Pro Technology™ controls these harmful deposits by helping to keep pistons clean.
Neutralise
The rapid depletion of the oil's acid-controlling reserves can leave surfaces vulnerable to corrosive wear.
Castrol VECTON with System Pro Technology™ protects surfaces from corrosive wear by helping to neutralise acids.
Performs
Castrol VECTON with System Pro Technology™ is designed to combat oil breakdown by controlling oxidation, reducing deposits, and neutralising harmful acids. Giving you confidence in a longer useful oil life and a maximum drain interval.
Castrol VECTON with System Pro Technology™ delivers up to 45% extra performance reserve*.
Castrol VECTON 15W-40 CK-4/E9
CASTROL VECTON 15W-40 CK-4/E9 with unique System Pro Technology™ is an advanced heavy duty engine oil. Conforming to the requirements of PC-11 engine oil technology, it can be used in diesel engines where API CK-4 or, CJ-4 and below is required. Specifically engineered to deliver longer oil life, enabling longer service intervals even under severe operating conditions.
New technology developments in diesel engines have led to lower emissions in heavy duty vehicles. These technology advances result in increasing levels of torque within the engine, leading to higher pressures and temperatures. Castrol VECTON 15W-40 CK-4/E9 with unique System Pro Technology™ adapts to increased pressure and temperature with its strong shear stability and proven oxidation performance, extending useful life of the oil for longer service intervals and higher productivity.
Oil drain intervals vary based on factors such as engine type, duty cycle and fuel burn. Consult service manuals for recommended oil drain intervals. Extended drains may be possible if done in conjunction with Castrol’s Used Oil Analysis (UOA) program and in consultation with Castrol’s Technical Services team.
Features and benefits
- Excels under high pressure: engine combustion pressures are increasing, which puts increased pressure on key engine parts. Castrol VECTON 15W-40 CK-4/E9 with unique System Pro Technology™ is formulated to hold its viscosity under high shear contacts to extend oil life.
- Performs at high temperature: engine oil is subjected to areas of very high temperature in modern engines, causing oxidation and oil thickening. Castrol VECTON 15W-40 CK-4/E9 is formulated to fight oxidation to extend oil life.
*Compared to API and ACEA industry requirements and based on tests conducted on 81% of the Castrol VECTON range by volume based on 12 months sales up to March 2017.
**Approved by MAN for up to 120,000 km and Mercedes Benz, Volvo, and Renault for up to 100,000 km in accordance with their specifications. Actual oil drain depends on engine type, operating conditions, service history, OBD and fuel quality. Always consult your manufacturer’s handbook.
