ADVANTAGES

Castrol Vecton Long Drain 10W-40 E6/E9 with System Pro Technology is specifically engineered and tested for extended drains up to 120,000km*. Castrol Vecton Long Drain products deliver up to 45% extra performance reserve** that fights oil breakdown and also adapts to higher temperatures for longer useful oil life, giving you confidence in your maximum drain interval. All Castrol Vecton products are certified CO2 neutral according to the highest global standards.

Modern trucks use new technologies to make as much as 30% higher torque, but that aslo means higher engine temperatures and pressures. This punishes the oil, pushing it closer to breakdown, and reducing its useful life and ability to extend drains. Castrol Vecton Long Drain’s System Pro Technology has been proven in field testing to safely entend drain intervals. Formulated with up to 45% extra performance reserve, System Pro Technology fights oil breakdown by combating oxidation and deposits, neutralizing harmful acids, controlling oil aeration, and adapting to increased temperatures, resisting viscosity loss through shear. All of this means longer useful oil life giving you the confidence in your maximum drain interval.

*is approved by MAN for oil drain up to 120,000km, in accordance with their specifications. Actual oil drain depends on engine type, operating conditions, service history, OBD and fuel quantity. Always consult your manufacturer’s handbook.

** compared 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.
