Castrol Launches Vecton RX Fuel Saver Diesel Engine Oil

Castrol has launched the Vecton RX Fuel Saver 10W-40, diesel engine oil which was co-engineered by Castrol and Tata Motors. The oil is designed to increase the fuel efficiency of Tata trucks by 3%, which will not only save substantial amounts of diesel but also operating costs for these trucks.

The Vecton RX Fuel Saver 10W-40 has been developed and rigorously tested for over four years in Castrol's laboratories in Pangbourne - UK, and India, and on the roads. According to Ravi Kirpalani, Managing Director, Castrol India Limited, "The challenge was to develop a product which was fuel efficient but yet tough enough to withstand the huge pressure faced by trucks on difficult roads and under tough operating conditions, including overloading. This co-engineering effort between Tata Motors and Castrol is yet another example of the collaborative manner and the true partnership spirit in which both our companies operate."

Castrol Vecton RX Fuel Saver 10W-40 adapts to changing engine conditions to maximise engine performance in five key areas namely, reduced fuel consumption, reduced oil consumption, longer oil drain interval, enhanced component life and increased power.

According to Castrol, the Vecton RX Fuel Saver has the potential to save almost Rs.40,000 per annum for a truck which travels about 100,000 kms during a year.
