Castrol Vecton Long Drain 5w-30 FA-4/F01

Castrol VECTON Long Drain 5W-30 FA-4/F01 is an advanced full synthetic heavy-duty diesel engine oil that is specifically engineered to deliver longer useful oil life and additional fuel savings* in the latest highly rated diesel engines. Compatible with most EGR engines and most engines fitted with SCR NOx reduction systems.

Modern trucks use new technologies to achieve as much as 30% higher torque, bringing higher engine temperatures and pressures, reducing the useful life of oil. With System Pro Technology, Castrol VECTON Long Drain 5W-30 FA-4/F01 delivers *Up to 45% Extra Performance Reserve (EPR) for longer useful oil Life, giving you confidence in your maximum drain interval**.

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

¹Compared to API and ACEA industry requirements and based on tests conducted on 81% of the Castrol VECTON range by volume, based on 12 months’ sales up to March 2017.
²Approved by MAN for up to 120,000 km and Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, and Renault for up to 100,000 km in accordance with their specifications. Actual oil drain depends on engine type, operating conditions, service history, OBD and fuel quality. Always consult your manufacturer’s handbook

³Compared to API and ACEA industry requirements and based on tests conducted on 81% of the Castrol VECTON range by volume, based on 12 months’ sales up to March 2017.

• Heavy-duty diesel engines in trucks, buses, and commercial vehicles.

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

• Ideal for operations requiring long oil life, fuel efficiency, and reliable engine protection, especially with low-sulphur diesel fuel.

Why Choose Castrol VECTON Long Drain 5W-30 FA-4/F01?

Castrol VECTON Long Drain 5W-30 FA-4/F01 combines advanced full synthetic formulation with System Pro Technology™ to deliver extended oil life, superior engine protection, and improved fuel efficiency.

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

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 Long Drain 5W-30 FA-4/F01’s System Pro Technology™, formulated with extra performance reserve, fights oil
breakdown by:

• Extended oil life – up to 45% Extra Performance Reserve* for maximum drain confidence.

• High-temperature and high-pressure protection – maintains viscosity and performance under extreme conditions.

• Oxidation and deposit control – keeps engines cleaner over extended service intervals.

• Acid neutralisation – protects engine components and reduces wear.

• Maintains viscosity under thermal and mechanical stress – consistent lubrication even at high torque and temperature.

• Compatible with modern emission systems – safe for engines with DPF, EGR, and SCR systems.

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.
