Vecton 15w40

Castrol Vecton 15W-40 is an advanced heavy duty diesel engine oil formulated with unique System 5 TechnologyTM for up to 20% better engine performance

Modern engines operate in constantly changing conditions which impacts on engine performance. Castrol Vecton 15W-40's unique System 5 TechnologyTM responds to these changing conditions to maximise engine performance in 5 key areas:

  1. Fuel consumption: Fights oil thickening, resulting in better fuel efficiency.
  2. Oil consumption: Fights piston deposits, resulting in lower oil consumption.
  3. Oil drain interval: Fights contaminants, resulting in longer drain intervals.
  4. Component life: Fights wear and corrosion, enhancing the life of critical engine components.
  5. Power: Fights soot, improving engine power all the way through the oil drain.

Castrol Vecton 15W-40 with unique System 5 TechnologyTM adapts to changing engine conditions delivering up to 20% better engine performance*.
