Description
Castrol Vecton Long Drain 10W/30 E6/E9 is an advanced part synthetic heavy duty diesel oil that is specifically engineered engineered to deliver longer useful oil life. It is suitable for highly rated diesel engines meeting Euro I to Euro IV emission requirements. It is suitable for engines with or without particulate filters, and for most EGR engines and for 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 sulphur diesel fuel.
Features
- The protection is provided against oxidation and deposits.
- Neutralization of harmful acids, including those produced during combustion.
- Effective separation of air and contaminants.
- High resistance to elevated temperatures while maintaining viscosity throughout its service life.
Advantages:
Castrol Vecton Long Drain 10w/30 E6/E9 with System Pro Technology is specifically engineered and tested for extended drains up to 120,000km*.
Modern trucks use new technologies to make as much as 30% higher torque, but that also 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 extend drain intervals. System Pro technology fights oil breakdown by:
- combating oxidation and deposits
- neutralizing harmful acids
- controlling oil aeration
- 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 quality. 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.
Functionalities:
- Lubrication: The primary function of Castrol Vecton 10w/30 208 LTR is to lubricate the engine components, reducing friction and wear. It forms a protective layer between moving parts, ensuring smooth operation and minimizing metal-to-metal contact.
- Wear Protection: This engine oil offers superior wear protection by minimizing metal-to-metal contact and reducing friction. It forms a durable lubricating film on engine surfaces, extending the life of critical components like pistons, rings, and bearings.
- Deposit Control: Castrol Vecton 10w/30 208 LTR effectively controls the formation of deposits, such as sludge, varnish, and carbon. It keeps the engine clean by preventing the build-up of harmful contaminants, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency.
- Thermal Stability: The oil maintains its viscosity and lubricating properties even under high-temperature conditions. It effectively dissipates heat generated by the engine, preventing overheating and ensuring consistent performance.
- Cold-Start Performance: The 10w/30 viscosity rating of the oil allows for easy flow and quick circulation during cold starts. It provides immediate protection to critical engine parts, minimizing wear and reducing engine stress during start-up.
- Fuel Efficiency: Castrol Vecton 10w/30 208 LTR includes friction-reducing additives that contribute to improved fuel efficiency. By reducing internal engine friction, the oil enhances engine responsiveness and potentially lowers fuel consumption, resulting in cost savings over time.
Compatibility: This engine oil is designed to be compatible with a wide range of diesel engines, making it suitable for various commercial vehicle applications. It meets or exceeds the specifications required by major original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), ensuring its reliability and performance.
