Castrol Vecton Long Drain 5w-20 SLD5

CASTROL VECTON LONG DRAIN 5W-20 SLD5 has been developed to meet the latest MAN and Scania requirements for heavy-duty diesel engines using advanced exhaust after-treatment systems such as diesel particulate filters (DPFs) and in combination with low-sulphur diesel fuel. An advanced full synthetic heavy-duty diesel engine oil engineered to deliver longer useful oil life and additional fuel savings*

Modern trucks make as much as 30% higher torque. This punishes the oil, pushing it closer to breakdown, reducing its useful life. VECTON LONG DRAIN 5W-20 SLD5’s System Pro Technology is formulated with extra performance reserve to fight oil breakdown.

The Castrol Vecton Range – new simplified, consolidation-friendly 3-tier system explained: 

Modern trucks generate up to 30% more torque due to advanced technologies, but this also raises engine temperatures and pressures. These conditions accelerate oil oxidation and thickening, increase deposit formation, deplete acid-controlling reserves—ultimately pushing the oil closer to breakdown, reducing the useful life of the oil.
Castrol VECTON helps to control oxidation, reduce deposits, neutralise harmful acids, and adapts to higher temperatures, maintaining viscosity. Castrol VECTON offers 3 product ranges:

CASTROL VECTON LONG DRAIN

Ultimate Range: Offering our Long Drain and OEM-aligned products helps deliver maximum levels of protection and performance for the latest generation of trucks, to deliver maximum drain intervals3 and fuel savings1. VECTON Long Drain with System Pro Technology™ is tested for extended drains up to 120,000 kms2. Utilising System Pro Technology™, Castrol VECTON Long Drain delivers up to 45% extra performance reserve1 for longer useful oil life, giving you confidence in your maximum drain interval.

CASTROL VECTON PLUS

Enhanced: Offering our Plus product range helps to deliver enhanced levels of protection and longer useful oil life for a wide range of engine technologies, to deliver reliable fleet performance. Offered with System Pro Technology™, formulated with extra performance reserve3, fights oil breakdown by controlling oxidation and deposits, neutralising harmful acids and maintaining viscosity. System Pro Technology™ adapts to increased temperatures, resisting viscosity loss through thermal and mechanical shear.

CASTROL VECTON MULTI

Essential: Offering our Multi Range of Suitable for Use products helps deliver trusted Castrol protection and performance in a wide range of engine technologies, for older fleets looking for a reliable, value-first option. Castrol VECTON Multi helps to keep the engine clean by preventing oil thickening and deposit build-up in critical engine parts, to help deliver reliable engine performance

CASTROL VECTON LONG DRAIN 5W-20 SLD5 has been developed to meet the latest MAN and Scania requirements for heavy-duty diesel engines using advanced exhaust after-treatment systems such as diesel particulate filters (DPFs) and in combination with low-sulphur diesel fuel.

• For modern heavy-duty diesel engines in trucks, buses, and commercial vehicles.

• Compatible with engines equipped with DPF, EGR, and SCR NOx systems.

• Suitable for fleets requiring low-viscosity oils for improved fuel efficiency and reduced CO₂ emissions.

• Recommended for use with low-sulphur diesel fuel.

Why Choose Castrol VECTON Long Drain 5W-20 SLD5?

Castrol VECTON Long Drain 5W-20 SLD5 represents the next generation of low-viscosity heavy-duty lubricants, combining energy efficiency, durability, and protection.
It helps fleets reduce operating costs, extend service intervals, and achieve sustainability goals without compromising performance or reliability.

With System Pro Technology™, you get an oil that’s engineered to handle the demands of today’s high-output diesel engines—so you can stay on the road longer and protect your investment.

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. VECTON LONG DRAIN 5W-20 SLD5’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.

* When compared to conventional 15W40s in laboratory engine testing.
