Castrol VECTON

Discover how Castrol VECTON tackles extreme engine conditions with System Pro Technology™ supporting longer useful oil life. Giving you confidence in your drain interval to help 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 drain interval to help maximise your profit.

System Pro Technology™ 

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 drain interval.

VECTON 15W-40 CK-4/E9

VECTON 15W-40 CK-4/E9

Castrol VECTON 15W-40 CK-4/E9 is an advanced mineral heavy duty diesel engine oil that isspecifically engineered to deliver longer useful oil life. It is suitable for use in high speed 4-strokediesel engines with diesel fuel containing 500ppm sulphur, and is compatible with diesel engines fittedwith EGR. It is also compatible with the latest exhaust after treatment systems such as DPF, DOC and/or SCR when diesel sulphur content is limited to 15 ppm.

Advantages

 

Castrol VECTON 15W-40 CK-4/E9 with System Pro Technology™ delivers up to 45% extra performancereserve* that fights oil breakdown and also adapts to higher temperatures for longer useful oil life,giving you confidence in your maximum drain interval.

 

Modern trucks use new technologies resulting in different torq requirements which means higherengine temperatures and pressures.This punishes the oil, pushing it closer to breakdown, and reducing its useful life andability to extenddrain intervals. Castrol VECTON's System Pro Technology™ has an extra performance reserve thatfights oil breakdown by:

  • Combating oxidation and deposits.
  • Neutralizing harmful acids.
  • Controlling oil aeration.
  • Also adapting to increased temperatures while resisting viscosity loss through shear.

 

All of this means longer useful oil life, giving you the confidence in your maximum drain interval.
