E X T E NDE D DR A IN CA PA BL E You can safely extend drain intervals up to double OEM recommendations when you use Castrol Elixion. It actively resists breakdown and copes easily with the soot load produced by heavy duty engines. R E DUCE D OIL C ON SUMP T ION Some other low viscosity oils have high oil consumption. But Castrol Elixion was designed to reduce consumption and therefore expenditure. With lower burn‑off rates, you'll spend less time topping off oil and more time on the road, moving freight. TBN/TAN Crossover Point – Mack T12 TBN/TAN crossover is a typical measure of the "failure point" of an oil. Castrol Elixion 5W‑30 demonstrates superior acid neutralization capability. In this test, the time to the TBN/TAN crossover point is doubled for Castrol Elixion 5W‑30 compared to a Reference 15W‑40 CJ‑4 oil. Reduced Oil Consumption Castrol Elixion 5W‑30 reduces the need for top‑ups and running costs.
