Castrol VECTON
Discover how Castrol VECTON tackles extreme engine conditions with System Pro Technology™ for longer useful oil life. Giving you confidence in your maximum drain interval to 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, neutralize harmful acids, and also adapts to higher temperatures under extreme engine conditions.
For longer useful oil life, giving you confidence in your maximum drain interval to maximise your profit.
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.
Neutralize
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 neutralize acids.
Performs
Castrol VECTON with System Pro Technology™ is designed to combat oil breakdown by controlling oxidation, reducing deposits, and neutralizing 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*.

Castrol VECTON Multi-Fuel CK-4/NG is an advanced heavy-duty diesel and natural-gas engine oil that is specifically
engineered to deliver longer useful oil life. It is suitable for use in high-speed, 4-stroke diesel and natural-gas engines. It is compatible with diesel and natural-gas engines fitted with EGR and the latest exhaust after treatment systems such as DPF, DOC and/or SCR. It meets API CK-4 (diesel), Cummins CES 20092 (natural gas), and API SN (gasoline) engine specifications.
Mixed-fleet benefits
Castrol VECTON Multi-Fuel CK-4/NG, by virtue of its suitability across diesel, natural gas, and gasoline engines, can reduce
operating costs by eliminating the need for multiple engine oils. It can also help avoid critical equipment failures by reducing the potential for human error when performing oil changes on a mixed fleet.
Performance advantages
Castrol VECTON Multi-Fuel CK-4/NG engine oils with unique SYSTEM PRO TECHNOLOGY™ deliver up to a 42% extra
performance reserve* that fights oil breakdown by helping to control oxidation, reduce deposits and neutralize
harmful acids. It also adapts to higher temperatures, which helps to maintain viscosity. This means longer useful oil life, giving you confidence in your maximum drain interval.^
