Castrol Vecton RX Fuel Saver diesel engine oil launched

Castrol India in association with Tata Motors has launched the Castrol Vecton RX Fuel Saver diesel engine oil at the Buddh International Circuit in Greater Noida. The engine oil maker claims that this oil is designed to increase the fuel-efficiency of Tata trucks by three per cent. This in turn will help in saving substantial amount of diesel as well as operating costs for these trucks.

Commenting on the launch, Ravi Kirpalani, Managing Director, Castrol India Limited, said, “Castrol Vecton RX Fuel Saver 10W-40 incorporates Castrol’s pioneering technology and has been developed and rigorously tested for over four years in Castrol’s laboratories in Pangbourne - UK, and India, and on the roads. “

“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. This year we complete 30 years of our relationship with Tata Motors and we are indeed delighted to work with such a strong and trusted partner,” he further added.

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

Castrol claims that by using this engine oil individuals can save up to Rs 40,000 per annum for a truck which travels about 1,00,000km during a year.
