ILS Product Spotlight
Castrol Vecton Diesel Engine Oils
Modern diesel engines use new technologies to make as much as 30% higher torque, but that also brings higher engine temperatures and pressures. This can lead to accelerated oxidation and oil thickening, increased build-up of deposits, and rapid depletion of the oil’s acid-controlling reserves. All of which pushes the oil closer to breakdown and reduces useful oil life. Castrol has developed VECTON with new System Pro Technology™, which has an extra performance reserve that fights oil breakdown by helping to control oxidation, reduce deposits, neutralise harmful acids and also adapt to higher temperatures, maintaining viscosity. The Castrol VECTON range* performed, on average, 45% better than API and ACEA test limits, demonstrating that Castrol VECTON with System Pro Technology™ delivers an extra performance reserve to give you the confidence in your maximum drain interval. Castrol VECTON delivers another important benefit to environmentally aware business owners. Castrol VECTON is the first certified carbon neutral commercial vehicle engine oil on the market. So at the same time you’re maximising drain intervals, you’ll reduce your business’s carbon footprint, reduce your impact on climate change, and make a positive impact on the environment. All in all it definitely means a Competitive Edge for your business.
* Based on tests conducted on 81% of the whole Castrol VECTON range by volume based on 12 month sales.

Oilsafe – The Leader in Visual Lubrication Systems
For more than a decade, OILSAFE has been the oil transfer management system preferred by leading companies around the world. People often go to great lengths to preserve the quality of their oil only to contaminate it by using filthy containers, pouring it through a dirty funnel or inadvertently mixing it with different oil.
The colour coded range of OILSAFE containers provide:
- A fully sealed unit that prevents contaminants from getting into the oil.
- Easier dispensing without the need for secondary tools such as funnels.
By colour coding your lubricants and integrating with our OILSAFE identification products you’ll prevent cross contamination and misapplication of oils. With different lid types designed to fit the various drum sizes, you can mix and match the components to build heavy duty durable containers that will meet your oil transfer requirements. This portfolio of products combine to form the revolutionary Visual Lubrication System that:
- Protects lubricants from contamination.
- Reduces machinery downtime.
- Minimizes dangerous and costly spills.
task is fundamental to the continued operations of the plant and its ability
to achieve its mission, it is on a path to trouble. The role of maintenance
is not the repair of equipment once it has already failed; maintenance is
the business of keeping the plant up and running, and the most effective
way of doing that is preventing failures. Lubrication and oil analysis are at
the very heart of maintenance because they deal with elimination and
monitoring root causes of failures – particulates, moisture, and the
ineffective separation of contacting surfaces.” – Adam Davis, Machinery
