Engine Oils Product Data castrol.com/GPS 800 255 4417 May 2025 GPS Castrol ® VECTON ® 10W-30 FA-4 Castrol VECTON 10W-30 FA-4 with unique SYSTEM PRO TECHNOLOGY™ is a part-synthetic diesel engine oil that represents the latest technology heavy-duty engine oil engineered specifically for fuel economy in select 2017 and beyond model year diesel engines. It is targeted exclusively at today's low emission, low fuel consumption trucks and buses where API FA-4 is required. Fuel Savings and Increased Productivity Pumping oil around the engine creates drag, which saps engine power and increases the consumption of diesel fuel. Castrol VECTON 10W-30 FA-4 delivers a 1.5% Fuel Saving + and extended drain intervals of up to 60,000 miles. ^ Castrol VECTON 10W-30 FA-4 also has lower viscosity under high temperature and high shear forces, thus reducing drag, saving fuel, and improving engine productivity. 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 10W-30 FA-4 adapts to increased pressure and temperature with proven shear stability and oxidation performance. Features/Benefits Castrol VECTON 10W-30 FA-4 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, reduce deposits and neutralize harmful acids. It also adapts to higher temperatures, which helps to maintain 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 10W-30 FA-4 with unique SYSTEM PRO TECHNOLOGY™ is formulated to hold its viscosity under high shear contacts 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 10W-30 FA-4 fights oxidation to extend oil life. Industry Approvals and OEM Specifications • API FA-4 • Cummins CES 20087 • DDC DFS 93K223 • Meets Ford WSS-M2C214-B1 + In independent testing versus SAE 15W-40 CJ-4 oil using SAE J1321 test method for class 8 trucks ^ 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%. B14 ecastrof
