Mining and Commercial Vehicle Oil (CVO) Products

Description:

An advanced mineral heavy duty diesel engine oil that is  specifically engineered to deliver longer useful oil life. It is suitable for use in high speed 4-stroke diesel engines that use a broad range of fuel qualities. It is also compatible with diesels engines fitted  with exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system.

Advantages:

Castrol VECTON® 15W-40 CI-4/E7 with System Pro Technology™ delivers 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. 

Modern trucks use new technologies to make as much as 30% higher torque, but that also brings  higher engine temperatures and pressures. This punishes the oil, pushing it closer to breakdown,  reducing its useful life.  Castrol VECTON® 15W-40 CI-4/E7's System Pro Technology™ formulated with  extra performance reserve fights oil breakdown by:

  • Controlling oxidation and deposits

  • Neutralizing harmful acids

  • Maintaining viscosity

System Pro Technology™ also adapts to increased temperatures resisting viscosity loss through thermal and mechanical shear.  All of this means longer useful oil life giving you the confidence in your  maximum drain interval.  

*Compared to API and ACEA industry requirements and based on tests conducted on 81% of the Castrol VECTON range by volume using 12 months sales up to March 2017.

Description:

An advanced heavy duty diesel engine oil. It is suitable for use in  high speed 4-stroke diesel engines that use a broad range of fuel qualities. It is also compatible with diesel engines  fitted with exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems.

Advantages:
Trucks work hard in tough conditions and irrespective of the truck you own, new or old, the engine in your truck is  always under threat. There is a destructive cycle in the engine that can damage critical parts. Heat, deposits, and wear; 3  threats linked together, an increase in one can increase all and over time could lead to severe engine damage. Increased heat in the engine can cause oil to break down and result in an increase of oil thickening and  deposit formation; this accumulation of deposits in the oil or on metal surfaces can lead to abrasive or corrosive wear in the engine. This abrasive wear increases friction and heat within the engine and the destructive cycle is formed. New Castrol CRB Turbomax 15W-40 CI-4 with Durashield Technology helps break the destructive cycle of  heat, deposits and wear - giving your engine 3X protection* for long and healthy engine life.  
*3X refers to protection against 3 elements – heat, wear and deposits
