Modern trucks use new technologies to make as much as 30% higher torque, but that also brings higher engine temperatures and pressures. This can lead to accelerated oxidation and oil thickening, increased build-up of deposits, and rapid depletion of the oil’s acid-controlling reserves. All of which pushes the oil closer to breakdown and reduces useful oil life.
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, maintaining viscosity. That means longer useful oil life, giving you confidence in your maximum drain interval.
All Castrol VECTON products are certified CO2 neutral according to the internationally applicable PAS2060 standard.
Castrol VECTON range includes products which are specifically engineered to perform in extreme conditions and deliver in areas like fuel economy and extended drain:
- Castrol VECTON FUEL SAVER – Fully synthetic diesel engine oils that gave up to 1% fuel saving in a Euro V engine using the European Transient Cycle test when compared to a modern top tier 15W-40 engine oil. They also have an excellent performance at low temperatures.
- Castrol VECTON LONG DRAIN – Fully synthetic (SAE 10W-40) and part synthetic (SAE 10W-30) diesel engine oils which have been tested for extended drains up to 120,000 km2.
