Description
Castrol VECTON Long Drain 10W-40 E9 is an advanced synthetic heavy duty diesel engine oil that is specifically
engineered to deliver longer useful oil life. It is suitable for highly rated diesel engines meeting Euro I to Euro VI
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 low Sulphur diesel fuel
Advantages
Castrol VECTON Long Drain 10W-40 E6/E9 with System Pro Technology™ is specifically engineered and tested for
extended drains up to 120,000 km*. 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 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. 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 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.

Storage
All packages should be stored under cover. Where outside storage is unavoidable drums should be laid horizontally to
avoid the possible ingress of water and damage to drum markings. Products should not be stored above 60°C, exposed
to hot sun or freezing conditions.
