Castrol Vecton Long Drain 5w-30 FA-4/F8

Castrol VECTON 5W-30 FA-4/F8 is an is an advanced full synthetic heavy duty diesel engine oil that is specifically engineered to deliver longer useful oil life. It is suitable for use in high speed 4-stroke diesel engines and is compatible with diesels engines fitted with EGR and the latest exhaust after treatment systems such as; DPF, DOC and/or SCR. It is not recommended for use with fuels having greater than 15 ppm sulfur, and is not interchangeable or backward compatible with previous API category oils

• Heavy-duty diesel engines in trucks, buses, and commercial vehicles meeting FA-4 specifications.

• Engines with or without particulate filters (DPF), most EGR-equipped engines, and engines fitted with SCR NOx reduction systems.

• Ideal for operations requiring extended oil drains, fuel efficiency, and reliable engine protection, particularly when used with low-sulphur diesel fuel.

Why Choose Castrol VECTON Long Drain 5W-30 FA-4/F8?

Castrol VECTON Long Drain 5W-30 FA-4/F8 combines advanced full synthetic formulation with System Pro Technology™ to deliver longer oil life, superior engine protection, and fuel-efficient performance.

It is engineered to meet the demands of modern high-torque engines, reduce maintenance intervals, and provide reliable, environmentally responsible performance for commercial vehicle fleets.

Castrol VECTON 5W-30 FA-4/F8 with System Pro Technology™ delivers *Up to 45% Extra Performance Reserve (EPR) for 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.

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 5W-30 FA-4/F8 ’s System Pro Technology™ formulated with extra performance reserve fights oil breakdown by:

• Controlling oxidation and deposits
• Neutralizing 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.

*EPR is an average by which it exceeds the API and ACEA industry requirements and based on tests conducted on 81% of the Castrol VECTON range by volume using 12 months sales up to March 2017

• API FA-4
• Cummins CES 20087
• DDC DFS 93K223
