Castrol Vecton Long Drain 5w-30 FA-4/F01 - Longer Useful Oil Life

DESCRIPTION

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*

APPLICATIONS

Castrol VECTON Long Drain 5W-30 FA-4/F01 is suitable for use in the latest highly rated diesel engines and is compatible with most EGR engines and most engines fitted with SCR NOx reduction systems. It is strongly recommended for engines fitted with particulate filters and is designed for use in combination with low-sulphur diesel fuel.

ADVANTAGES

Castrol VECTON Long Drain 5W-30 FA-4/F01 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**.

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:

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