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.

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.

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*.

VECTON® Long Drain 5W-30 CK-4/SN

Castrol VECTON Long Drain 5W-30 CK-4/SN with unique SYSTEM PRO TECHNOLOGY™ is an advanced synthetic, all-climate, heavy duty diesel engine oil that is specifically engineered to deliver longer useful oil life.

 

Performance advantages

 

Castrol VECTON Long Drain 5W-30 CK-4/SN with unique SYSTEM PRO TECHNOLOGY™ delivers up to a 45% 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.^

 

Drain intervals up to 80,000 miles or 1,000 hours^

 

Proven cold start benefits

Compared to conventional 15W-40 oils, Castrol VECTON Long Drain 5W-30 CK-4/SN starts flowing through the engine faster, lubricating vital engine components sooner, helping to prevent engine damage at cold start. In addition, Castrol VECTON Long Drain 5W-30 CK-4/SN requires lower power to crank the engine to life in cold temperatures than the conventional 15W-40 oil. This means fewer no-starts. Furthermore, this indicates a potential for improved battery life and starter motor life.

 

Fuel economy

 

Due to the high quality, full-synthetic base stocks in its formulation, Castrol VECTON Long Drain 5W-30 CK-4/SN can help improve fuel economy without compromising engine protection. Up to 2% improvement vs. SAE 15W-40 oil1 in class 8 diesel engine bench testing.
