Superior protection in 7 Critical Areas to help extend engine life
As a vehicle ages, several factors must be considered to maintain efficient engine operation and to extend the vehicle's lifespan. Industry standard tests are conducted for six critical areas to ensure these standards are met.
Castrol's High Mileage portfolio is specially formulated with reduced phosphorus to protect the catalytic converter, thereby addressing the seventh critical area, which is emission system protection.
No other high mileage brand provides both engine and emission system protection.
High Mileage 7 Critical Areas:
- Timing wear
Your engine’s timing chain controls the valves that regulate air flow and exhaust. Castrol motor oils are engineered to help protect the timing chain from excessive wear. Because when that timing chain wears, it can disrupt the valves — and reduce power.
- Dispercancy
When sludge and engine deposits build up, they can reduce your engine’s efficiency. Castrol motor oils contain dispersants, special additives that help keep contaminants from settling in your engine — and causing that awful sludge.
- Volatility
This is often referred to as “burn off,” or an oil’s evaporation rate. The additives in Castrol motor oils help prevent burnoff and extend protection. Lesser oils can be more volatile, meaning you have to check your oil more often and “top it off,” or risk potential engine wear.
- Corrosion
Water and acid are typically present in combustion engines but the key is limiting them. Water can cause metal parts to rust and acid can lead to corrosion. The additives in Castrol motor oils neutralize acids and displace water. That’s critical to help prevent corrosion — and maintain your engine’s performance.
- Cleanliness
It’s simple. A clean engine performs better. So Castrol motor oils reduce sludge and deposit build up to keep engines cleaner. It’s critical to optimizing performance.
- Wear protection
When your engine’s pistons, rings and cylinder walls show signs of wear, it compromises combustion and reduces performance. Castol motor oils provide robust protection to prevent metal-to-metal contact and reduce wear.
- Emission system
Good news: most engine oils contain phosphorus to reduce engine wear. Not so good news: phosphorus is also harmful to your catalytic converter. But fear not, because Castrol high-mileage oils contain our exclusive Phosphorus Replacement Technology. They’re formulated to reduce phosphorus levels to protect the catalytic converter — and preserve the life of your emission system.
