Castrol VECTON
Castrol VECTON heavy duty diesel engine oil with System Pro Technology™, formulated with extra performance reserve for longer useful oil life.
Succeed with Castrol VECTON
Modern trucks generate up to 30% more torque due to advanced technologies, but this also raises engine temperatures and pressures. These conditions accelerate oil oxidation and thickening, increase deposit formation, deplete acid-controlling reserves—ultimately pushing the oil closer to breakdown, reducing the useful life of the oil.
Castrol VECTON helping to control oxidation, reduce deposits, neutralise harmful acids, and adapts to higher temperatures, maintaining viscosity. Castrol VECTON offers 3 product ranges:
Ultimate Range: Offering our Long Drain and OEM aligned products, helps deliver maximum levels of protection and performance for the latest generation of trucks, to deliver maximum drain intervals3 and fuel savings1. VECTON Long Drain with System Pro Technology™ is tested for extended drains up to 120,000 kms2. Utilizing System Pro Technology™, Castrol VECTON Long Drain delivers up to 45% extra performance reserve1 for longer useful oil life, giving you confidence in your maximum drain interval.
Enhanced: Offering our Plus product range helps to deliver enhanced levels of protection and longer useful oil life for a wide range of engine technologies, to deliver reliable fleet performance. Offered with System Pro Technology™ formulated with extra performance reserve3 fights oil breakdown by controlling oxidation and deposits, neutralizing harmful acids and maintaining viscosity. System Pro Technology™ adapts to increased temperatures resisting viscosity loss through thermal and mechanical shear.
Essential: Offering our Multi Range of Suitable for Use products helps deliver trusted Castrol protection and performance in a wide range of engine technologies, for older fleets looking for a reliable, value-first option. Castrol VECTON Multi helps to keep the engine clean by preventing oil thickening and deposit build-up in critical engine parts, to help deliver reliable engine performance

Castrol VECTON with System Pro Technology™
For longer useful oil life
Modern trucks use new technologies to make as much as 30% higher torque, but that also brings higher engine temperatures and pressures. This can lead to accelerated oxidation and oil thickening, increased build-up of deposits, and rapid depletion of the oil’s acid-controlling reserves. All of which pushes the oil closer to breakdown and reduces useful oil life.
Castrol has developed VECTON with new System Pro Technology™, which has an extra performance reserve that fights oil breakdown by helping to control oxidation, reduce deposits, neutralise harmful acids and also adapt to higher temperatures, maintaining viscosity. That means longer useful oil life, giving you confidence in your maximum drain interval.
Tackle extreme engine conditions with System Pro Technologytm
The harshness of increased torque accompanied by increasing temperatures and pressures can lead to the following accelerated operating conditions:
Oxidation
High temperatures can accelerate the rate of oxidation and oil thickening. This reduces the flow to vital engine parts.
System Pro Technology™ combats oxidation and oil thickening to help protect your engine from heat damage.
Deposits
An increase in build-up of deposits can reduce efficiency and increase blow-by.
System Pro Technology™ controls these harmful deposits by helping to keep pistons clean.
Corrosive wear
The rapid depletion of the oil’s acid-controlling reserves can leave surfaces vulnerable to corrosive wear.
System Pro Technology™ protects surfaces from corrosive wear by helping to neutralise acids.
Castrol VECTON range - up to 45% extra performance reserve*
