The range

The Castrol VECTON range of oils are specifically engineered to perform in extreme conditions and extend longer useful oil life.

Castrol VECTON

Our core product combats, controls, and neutralises to deliver up to 45% extra performance reserve*.

Castrol VECTON Long Drain

Engineered and tested to maximise extended drain interval for longer useful oil life.

The risk of oil breakdown 

Castrol VECTON is designed to combat oil breakdown by controlling oxidation, reducing deposits, and neutralising harmful acids.

 

Discover the risk of oil breakdown on your vehicle below:

High temperatures can accelerate the rate of oxidation, causing thermal breakdown and oil thickening. Oxidation changes the structure of the oil, resulting in sludge and deposit build-up. This can reduce the flow of oil to vital oil parts.

 

Castrol VECTON combats oxidation and oil thickening to help protect your engine from heat damage.

An increase in the build-up of deposits can reduce efficiency and increase blow-by. Deposits can build up on pistons, preventing them from properly sealing the combustion chamber, and allowing gases to escape past the piston rings. This can lead to increased pressure inside the crankcase and further accelerate the degradation of the oil.


Castrol VECTON controls these harmful deposits by helping to keep pistons clean.

The rapid depletion of the oil's acid-controlling reserves can leave surfaces vulnerable to corrosive wear. Oil degradation and oxidation can accelerate the creation of harmful acids inside the engine. These acids can increase the corrosive effect, attacking the surfaces of components and increase abrasive wear.


Castrol VECTON protects surfases from corrosive wear by helping to neutralise acids.

Delivers up to 45% extra performance reserve*

Did you know that modern trucks use innovative technologies to create as much as 30% higher torque? But with this comes higher engine temperatures and extreme internal pressures. Leading to accelerated oxidation and oil thickening, increased build-up of deposits, and rapid depletion of the oil's acid-controlling reserves.

 

Castrol VECTON provides an advanced solution.

 

It is designed to combat oil breakdown and perform in extreme conditions, delivering up to 45% extra performance reserve*. Giving you the confidence in your maximum drain interval to maximise your profit.
