Castrol VECTON Long Drain
Castrol VECTON Long Drain combats, controls, and protects – giving you confidence in your maximum drain interval. For longer useful oil life.
For longer useful oil life and extended drain intervals
Modern trucks deliver up to 30% higher torque. But with this comes increased engine temperatures and pressures that put extra stress on your oil. Over time, these conditions can accelerate oil breakdown, reducing its useful life.
Castrol VECTON Long Drain with System Pro TechnologyTM is specifically engineered to help support extended drain intervals. Designed to combat the extreme demands of your engine.
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*.
VECTON Long Drain 10W-40 E8/E11
Castrol VECTON Long Drain 10W-40 E8/E11 is a synthetic technology heavy duty diesel engine oil that is specifically engineered to deliver longer useful oil life. It is suitable for highly rated diesel engines meeting Euro I to Euro VI emission requirements and is applicable to engines with or without particulate filters, and for most EGR engines and for most engines fitted with SCR NOx reduction systems. It is strongly recommended for engines fitted with particulate filters and is designed for use in combination with low sulphur diesel fuel.

Advantages
Modern trucks use new technologies to make as much as 30% higher torque, but this also means higher engine temperatures and pressures. This punishes the oil, pushing it closer to breakdown, and reducing its useful life and ability to extend drains. Castrol VECTON Long Drain’s System Pro Technology™ has been proven to safely extend drain intervals up to 120,000kms*.
System Pro Technology fights oil breakdown by:
- combating oxidation and deposits
- neutralizing harmful acids
- controlling oil aeration
- adapting to increased temperatures
- resisting viscosity loss through shear.
All of this means longer useful oil life, giving you the confidence in your maximum drain interval.
*is approved by MAN for up to 120,000kms and Mercedes Benz, Volvo, and Renault for up to100,000kms in accordance with their specifications. Actual oil drain depends on engine type, operatingconditions, service history, OBD and fuel quality. Always consult your manufacturer’s handbook.
