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.

Truck driving on the road with a Castrol VECTON Long Drain oil pack

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 enable maximum drain intervals. Designed to combat the extreme demands of your engine – providing outstanding performance and extended drain intervals.

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 a maximum drain interval.

 

Castrol VECTON with System Pro Technology™ delivers up to 45% extra performance reserve*.

VECTON Long Drain 5W-30 FA-4/F01

Castrol VECTON Long Drain 5W-30 FA-4/F01

Castrol VECTON Long Drain 5W-30 FA-4/F01 is an is an advanced full synthetic heavy duty diesel engine oil that is specifically engineered to deliver longer useful oil life.

Castrol VECTON Long Drain 5W-30 FA-4/F01 is suitable for use in the latest highly rated diesel engines and is compatible 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.


Features & benefits

 

  • Castrol VECTON with System Pro Technology™ delivers up to 45% extra performance reserve* for longer useful oil life, giving you confidence in your maximum drain interval.
  • Modern trucks use new technologies to make as much as 30% higher torque, but that also brings higher engine temperatures and pressures. This punishes the oil, pushing it closer to breakdown, reducing its useful life. Castrol VECTON’s System Pro Technology™ formulated with extra performance reserve fights oil breakdown by:
    • Controlling oxidation and deposits
    • Neutralising harmful acids
    • Maintaining viscosity.
  • System Pro Technology™ also adapts to increased temperatures resisting viscosity loss through thermal and mechanical shear. All of this means longer useful oil life giving you the confidence in your maximum drain interval.
