Castrol Vecton 15w-40 CJ-4/E9
VISCOSITY - SAE 15w-40
Castrol Vecton 15w-40 CJ-4/E9 For maximum engine performance
Castrol Vecton is an advanced 15W-40 diesel engine oil that maximizes engine performance in the latest US, European and Japanese heavy-duty diesel engines including severe applications such as high loads and multi-trailer operations.
Castrol Vecton 15W-40 CJ-4/E9 is recommended for use in modern US, European and Japanese heavy duty diesel engines. It is also suitable for use in older vehicles.
Suitable for use where low ash oils are recommended or preferred by the engine manufacturer. It is suitable for use in most applications where diesel particulate filters (DPF), diesel particulate diffusers (DPD) or similar devices are fitted.
Suitable for maximum drain intervals following engine manufacturer’s recommendations.
Suitable for use with Biodiesel as per the engine manufacturer’s recommended drain
intervals
Modern engines operate in constantly changing conditions which impacts engine performance. Castrol Vecton 15W-40 CJ-4/E9 with unique System 5 TechnologyTM adapts to these changing conditions to maximise performance in 5 key areas:
1 – Fuel consumption: Fights oil thickening resulting in better fuel efficiency.
2 – Oil Consumption: Fights piston deposits, resulting in lower oil consumption.
3 – Oil Drain Interval: Fights contaminants, resulting in longer oil drain intervals.
4 – Component Life: Fights wear and corrosion, enhancing the life of critical engine components.
5 – Power: Fights soot, improving engine power all the way through the oil drain.
Castrol Vecton 15W-40 CJ-4/E9 with unique System 5 TechnologyTM adapts to changing engine conditions delivering up to 20% better engine performance*.
* in independent laboratory tests compared with API CJ-4 limits for oil thickening, piston deposits, soot handling, wear
and corrosion

Before using the product, the vehicle’s maintenance guide should be checked. The product should not be stored at temperatures over 60°C. It should be kept away from sunlight, intense cold and extreme temperature fluctuations. If possible, the packaging should not be exposed to the elements. Otherwise, the drums should be laid horizontally to avoid any contamination from water and to prevent the product’s label from rubbing off.
All packages should be stored under cover. Where outside storage is unavoidable drums should be laid horizontally to avoid the possible ingress of water and damage to drum markings. Products should not be stored above 60°C, or exposed to hot sun or freezing conditions.
