Vecton 15W-40 CI-4/E7: Extended Oil Change Intervals
Description
Castrol VECTON® 15W-40 CI-4/E7 is a premium, heavy-duty diesel engine oil formulated with synthetic base oil technology to extend oil change intervals. It is suitable for high-speed, four-stroke diesel engines and compatible with a wide range of diesel fuels, including engines equipped with Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) systems.
Advantages
VECTON® 15W-40 CI-4/E7 with System Pro™ Technology provides up to 45% extra performance (*) in fighting oil breakdown and is designed for high-temperature operation, helping to maximize your engine oil replacement intervals. All Castrol VECTON® products are certified CO2 neutral according to the international PAS2060 standard.
Modern trucks with new technology are designed to have 30% higher torque, leading to engines running hotter and under higher pressure. These changes accelerate oil degradation, shortening oil change intervals. Castrol VECTON® 15W-40 CI-4/E7 with System Pro™ Technology is specially formulated to enhance oil performance, combating oil breakdown through:
- Oxidation control and deposit prevention inside the engine
- Neutralization of harmful acids
- Maintenance of viscosity
System Pro™ Technology adapts to higher temperature conditions, helping to combat oil viscosity breakdown due to thermal and mechanical stress, thus maximizing oil change intervals.
(*) Compared to API and ACEA standards based on tests of 81% of VECTON products sold over 12 months up to March 2017.
