Engine Oils Product Data castrol.com/GPS 800 255 4417 May 2025 GPS Castrol ® VECTON ® 15W-40 CK-4 Castrol VECTON 15W-40 CK-4 with unique SYSTEM PRO TECHNOLOGY™ is an advanced part-synthetic heavy-duty diesel engine oil that conforms to the requirements of PC-11 engine oil technology. Castrol VECTON 15W-40 CK-4 can be used in diesel engines where API CK-4 or CJ-4 and below is required. Castrol VECTON 15W-40 CK-4 is engineered specifically to deliver longer oil life, thus enabling longer service intervals even under severe operating conditions. In fact, it delivers extended drain intervals of up to 60,000 miles ^ . Adapting to Lower Emissions New technology developments in diesel engines have led to lower emissions in heavy-duty vehicles. In turn, these advances in technology also result in increasing levels of torque within the engine, which leads to higher pressures and temperatures. Castrol VECTON 15W-40 CK-4 adapts to increased pressure and temperature with proven shear stability and oxidation performance, extending useful life of the oil for longer service intervals and higher productivity. Features/Benefits Castrol VECTON 15W-40 CK-4 with unique SYSTEM PRO TECHNOLOGY™ offers the following benefits in support of modern diesel engine technology: • Delivers a 45% extra performance reserve* that fights oil breakdown by helping to control oxidation, re- duce deposits and neutralize harmful acids. It also adapts to higher temperatures, which helps to main- tain viscosity. is means longer useful oil life, giving you confidence in your maximum drain interval. ^ • Excels under high pressure. Engine combustion pressures are increasing, which puts increased pressure on key engine parts. Castrol VECTON 15W-40 CK-4 is formulated to hold its viscosity under high shear con- tacts to extend oil life. • Performs at high temperature. In modern engines, engine oil is subjected to areas of very high temperature; this causes oxidation and oil thickening. Castrol VECTON 15W-40 CK-4 fights oxidation to extend oil life. Industry Approvals and OEM Specifications • API CK-4 • DTFR 15C100 • CAT ECF-3 • Mack EOS-4.5 • Cummins CES 20086 • RVI RLD-3 • DDC DFS 93K222 • Volvo VDS-4.5 ^Extending oil drain intervals should only be done in conjunction with a proper used oil analysis program like Castrol Labcheck © *Average of percentages by which VECTON exceeds industry standard requirement limits in API CK-4 and ACEA E9-16 engine tests for viscosity maintenance, heat protection, deposit control, minimum oil limits and acid neutralization. In API CK-4 tests only, the VECTON performance reserve is 37%. B12 ecastrof
