VECTON® Multi-Fuel 10W-30 & 15W-40 CK-4/NG 

 

Castrol VECTON Multi-Fuel CK-4/NG is an advanced heavy-duty diesel and natural-gas engine oil that is specifically
engineered to deliver longer useful oil life. It is suitable for use in high-speed, 4-stroke diesel and natural-gas engines. It is compatible with diesel and natural-gas engines fitted with EGR and the latest exhaust after treatment systems such as DPF, DOC and/or SCR. It meets API CK-4 (diesel), Cummins CES 20092 (natural gas), and API SN (gasoline) engine specifications.

 

Mixed-fleet benefits

Castrol VECTON Multi-Fuel CK-4/NG, by virtue of its suitability across diesel, natural gas, and gasoline engines, can reduce
operating costs by eliminating the need for multiple engine oils. It can also help avoid critical equipment failures by reducing the potential for human error when performing oil changes on a mixed fleet.

 

Performance advantages

Castrol VECTON Multi-Fuel CK-4/NG engine oils with unique SYSTEM PRO TECHNOLOGY™ deliver up to a 42% extra

performance reserve* that fights oil breakdown by helping to control oxidation, reduce deposits and neutralize
harmful acids. It also adapts to higher temperatures, which helps to maintain viscosity. This means longer useful oil life, giving you confidence in your maximum drain interval.^

VECTON® Long Drain 5W-30 CK-4/SN

Castrol VECTON Long Drain 5W-30 CK-4/SN with unique SYSTEM PRO TECHNOLOGY™ is an advanced synthetic, all-climate, heavy duty diesel engine oil that is specifically engineered to deliver longer useful oil life.

 

Performance advantages

 

Castrol VECTON Long Drain 5W-30 CK-4/SN with unique SYSTEM PRO TECHNOLOGY™ delivers up to a 45% extra performance reserve* that fights oil breakdown by helping to control oxidation, reduce deposits and neutralize harmful acids. It also adapts to higher temperatures, which helps to maintain viscosity. This means longer useful oil life, giving you confidence in your maximum drain interval.^

 

Drain intervals up to 80,000 miles or 1,000 hours^

 

Proven cold start benefits

Compared to conventional 15W-40 oils, Castrol VECTON Long Drain 5W-30 CK-4/SN starts flowing through the engine faster, lubricating vital engine components sooner, helping to prevent engine damage at cold start. In addition, Castrol VECTON Long Drain 5W-30 CK-4/SN requires lower power to crank the engine to life in cold temperatures than the conventional 15W-40 oil. This means fewer no-starts. Furthermore, this indicates a potential for improved battery life and starter motor life.

 

Fuel economy

 

Due to the high quality, full-synthetic base stocks in its formulation, Castrol VECTON Long Drain 5W-30 CK-4/SN can help improve fuel economy without compromising engine protection. Up to 2% improvement vs. SAE 15W-40 oil1 in class 8 diesel engine bench testing.
