CASTROL VECTON LONG DRAIN 5W-30 E6/E9 new name
We are excited to inform you that commencing March 2024, we will introduce new Castrol VECTON LONG DRAIN 5W-30 E6/E9 to replace Castrol VECTON FUEL SAVER 5W-30 E6/E9, which will offer an upgraded specification profile that brings the new ACEA HD specifications E8 and E11, alongside several upgraded OEM approvals.
The new ACEA categories have been introduced to address engine developments which are driven by a combination of regulatory and performance needs. As part of their introduction, two new tests have been developed to test both the lubricants performance in aeration control and to ensure the lubricant achieves a significant boost in oxidation control.
- The new ACEA E8 category is for highly rated diesel engines which meet Euro VI and earlier emissions requirements and are operating under very severe conditions such as significantly extended oil drain intervals. It is suitable for Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) engines, with or without particulate filters and for engines fitted with NOx Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR) systems. E8? is recommended for engines fitted with particulate filters and is designed for use in combination with low-sulphur diesel fuel.
- The new ACEA E11 category is recommended for highly rated diesel engines meeting Euro VI and earlier emissions requirements running under less severe conditions than the E8 category. Like E8 it is suitable for engines with or without and particulate filters, for most EGR engines and for most engines fitted with NOx SCR systems. It is recommended for engines fitted with particulate filters and is designed for use in combination with low-sulphur fuel.
The new Castrol VECTON Long Drain 5W-30 E6/E9 will have a much darker colour than Castrol VECTON FUEL SAVER 5W-30 E6/E9, owing to a new formulation Castrol will use to blend the upgraded product.
