FOR LONG AND HEALTHY ENGINE LIFE
Castrol CRB is formulated to deliver a high level of engine protection throughout service intervals, which can help you avoid unexpected downtime and minimise repair costs. Castrol CRB range consists of:
Castrol CRB Turbomax with DuraShield™ Boosters which helps to prevent the agglomeration of soot under severe operating conditions, protecting surfaces from wear. It also provides a protective layer on the moving metal surfaces which resists break down, even under difficult conditions . Castrol CRB Turbomax delivers up to 40% better wear protection1 for long and healthy engine life.
Castrol CRB Multi and Castrol CRB Monograde with cleaning agents which displace particles that may otherwise build up on your engine surfaces, reducing deposits. They also contain anti-oxidants which disrupt the chemical reactions that can lead to oil thickening. As a result they provide effective piston deposit control and maintain their viscosity to encourage long and healthy engine life.
ADAPT TO SUCCEED WITH CASTROL VECTON
Modern trucks use new technologies to make as much as 30% higher torque, but that also brings higher engine temperatures and pressures. This can lead to accelerated oxidation and oil thickening, increased build-up of deposits, and rapid depletion of the oil’s acid-controlling reserves. All of which pushes the oil closer to breakdown and reduces useful oil life.
Castrol VECTON with System Pro Technology™ delivers up to 45% extra performance reserve1 that fights oil breakdown by helping to control oxidation, reduce deposits, neutralise harmful acids, and also adapts to higher temperatures, maintaining viscosity. That means longer useful oil life, giving you confidence in your maximum drain interval.
All Castrol VECTON products are certified CO2 neutral according to the internationally applicable PAS2060 standard.
Castrol VECTON range includes products which are specifically engineered to perform in extreme conditions and deliver in areas like fuel economy and extended drain:
Castrol VECTON FUEL SAVER – Fully synthetic diesel engine oils that gave up to 1% fuel saving in a Euro V engine using the European Transient Cycle test when compared to a modern top tier 15W-40 engine oil. They also have an excellent performance at low temperatures.
Castrol VECTON LONG DRAIN – Fully synthetic (SAE 10W-40) and part synthetic (SAE 10W-30) diesel engine oils which have been tested for extended drains up to 120,000 km2
Heavy duty vehicles cost big money to own and operate. Yet the ongoing expense of lubricants is only around 1-2% of that overall sum, which is why these costs are sometimes overlooked when Total Cost of Ownership is being considered.
Many operators see lubricants as a simple commodity where they can look to make cost savings. While Castrol’s liquid engineering solutions cost a little more to buy at the outset, they actually drive down the Total Cost of Ownership by significantly extending drain intervals and by delivering fuel savings.
In fact, our premium Castrol VECTON® diesel engine oil products deliver a 45% extra performance reserve* that fights oil breakdown by controlling oxidation, reducing deposits, and neutralizing harmful acids. This means longer useful oil life, which can lower your operating costs.
Whatever kind of heavy duty vehicles you operate, Castrol has the expertise, the products and the services you need to ensure operational efficiency and reduce Total Cost of Ownership.
Viscosity is a measurement of the thickness and ‘ease of flow’ in any liquid. For example, water is a thin liquid that flows freely, so we say that it has a low viscosity. Honey, on the other hand, is relatively thick and flows more slowly. So we describe honey as having a high viscosity. It’s also worth noting that honey flows more easily – and is therefore less viscous – when it is slightly warm. Motor oil behaves in pretty much the same way, which is why mechanics will usually run an engine for a minute or two before draining used motor oil away to replace it.
