Castrol 5W-30 F-Trucks CK-4 has been designed to meet Ford Trucks’ WSS-M2C213-A1 specification, which is based on the Association of European Automobile Manufacturers’ (ACEA) Oil Sequences E6 and E9 standard. The new lubricant is suitable for use in F-Max trucks featuring Ford’s Ecotorq Euro 6 engine. The product is also compliant with API’s CK-4 specification.
The new product has also been designed to meet the demands of the European market.
Dana Spicer Driveline Systems obtained information in 2017 which shows that modern trucks can generate up to 30% higher torque, which can lead to greater engine temperatures and pressures. This can push the oil closer to breakdown and reduce its useful life and its ability to extend draincycles. Castrol has designed Vecton 5W-30 F-Trucks CK-4 to combat these challenges with System Pro Technology.
Castrol’s System Pro Technology fights oil breakdown by effectively combating oxidation and deposits, neutralising harmful acids, controlling oil aeration, adapting to increased temperatures and resisting viscosity loss to maintain optimal lubrication properties. These measures ensure support for extended drain intervals and enhanced engine protection under the demanding conditions modern trucks face.
Castrol Vecton 5W-30 F-Trucks CK-4 comes in a 208-litre drum and is available to order through suppliers and distributors.
