Castrol VECTON
Castrol VECTON with System Pro Technology™ is a range of advanced diesel engine oils formulated with extra performance reserve for longer useful oil life.
Adapt to succeed with Castrol VECTON
Modern trucks use new technologies to make as much as 30% higher torque, but that also brings higher engine temperatures and pressures. This can lead to accelerated oxidation and oil thickening, increased build-up of deposits, and rapid depletion of the oil’s acid-controlling reserves. All of which pushes the oil closer to breakdown and reduces useful oil life.
Castrol VECTON with System Pro Technology™ delivers up to 45% extra performance reserve1 that fights oil breakdown by helping to control oxidation, reduce deposits, neutralise harmful acids, and also adapts to higher temperatures, maintaining viscosity. That means longer useful oil life, giving you confidence in your maximum drain interval.
Castrol VECTON range includes products which are specifically engineered to perform in extreme conditions and deliver in areas like fuel economy and extended drain:
- Castrol VECTON FUEL SAVER – Fully synthetic diesel engine oils that gave up to 1% fuel saving in a Euro V engine using the European Transient Cycle test when compared to a modern top tier 15W-40 engine oil. They also have an excellent performance at low temperatures.
- Castrol VECTON LONG DRAIN – Fully synthetic (SAE 10W-40) and part synthetic (SAE 10W-30) diesel engine oils which have been tested for extended drains up to 120,000 km2.
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

Castrol VECTON with system pro technology™
For longer useful oil life
Modern trucks use new technologies to make as much as 30% higher torque, but that also brings higher engine temperatures and pressures. This can lead to accelerated oxidation and oil thickening, increased build-up of deposits, and rapid depletion of the oil’s acid-controlling reserves. All of which pushes the oil closer to breakdown and reduces useful oil life.
Castrol has developed VECTON with new System Pro Technology™, which has an extra performance reserve that fights oil breakdown by helping to control oxidation, reduce deposits, neutralise harmful acids and also adapt to higher temperatures, maintaining viscosity. That means longer useful oil life, giving you confidence in your maximum drain interval.
Tackle extreme engine conditions with system pro technologytm
The harshness of increased torque accompanied by increasing temperatures and pressures can lead to the following accelerated operating conditions:
Oxidation
High temperatures can accelerate the rate of oxidation and oil thickening. This reduces the flow to vital engine parts.
System Pro Technology™ combats oxidation and oil thickening to help protect your engine from heat damage.
Deposits
An increase in build-up of deposits can reduce efficiency and increase blow-by.
System Pro Technology™ controls these harmful deposits by helping to keep pistons clean.
Corrosive Wear
The rapid depletion of the oil’s acid-controlling reserves can leave surfaces vulnerable to corrosive wear.
System Pro Technology™ protects surfaces from corrosive wear by helping to neutralise acids.
Castrol VECTON range - up to 45% extra performance reserve*
