Castrol Full Service Oil Change

Tection Extra

Castrol Tection Extra
Superior Protection For Your Diesel Engine

Castrol Tection Extra is formulated to exceed the requirements of API CJ–4, which means:

  • Outstanding soot management and low ash technology generates fewer deposits and reduces engine wear.
  • Excellent oxidation control counters sludge build up and increases engine efficiency.
  • Exceeds the demands of OEM specs from Caterpillar, Cummins, Detroit Diesel, Mack, Volvo and others.

But that's only the beginning. Modern engines run under harsher conditions than ever before. That's why we test our oil under the most severe conditions. Castrol Tection Extra is engineered to provide maximum protection for engines that run long and in tough environments.


Oil circulates through your engine at a rate of up to 100 times a minute; all the while it is being subjected to intense heat of over 400° F and is assaulted by acid, dirt and soot. In these harsh conditions, only the toughest engine oils can survive. While most diesel engine oils fold under the pressure by the end of the recommended drain interval, test results show that Castrol Tection Extra provides the best protection for your engine throughout the entire service interval.

  • Unsurpassed viscosity protection
  • Long lasting protection from metal to metal contact
  • Superior wear protection throughout your entire drain interval
  • Maximum protection for off road engines

Regularly changing a vehicle's engine oil is necessary to ensure proper engine function as well as to ensure that a vehicle engine lasts for as long as possible. Oil changes remove old, dirty engine oil and replace it with clean, fresh engine oil.

Regular oil changes provide several benefits:

  • lubricates your engine so that it runs more smoothly
  • cleans your engine by removing deposits and sludge
  • cools your engine and stabilizes operating temperature
  • protects your engine by reducing friction and wear
  • increases engine performance and maximizes power
  • improves gas mileage and runs more efficiently

Moreover, every Castrol Full Service Oil Change includes our 20-point service checklist, which helps ensure that all of the major mechanical components of your vehicle perform and last. In fact, regular maintenance is the single most important thing you can do to extend the life of your vehicle.

"Severe" Service Explained

Most vehicle manuals recommend that you service your vehicle more frequently if you drive in “severe” conditions. Most drivers are surprised at what counts for severe driving. In fact, for most drivers, “normal” driving habits are actually “severe”! “Severe” driving conditions include one or more of the following:

  • driving in stop and go traffic
  • driving in extremely hot or cold temperatures
  • driving at prolonged higher engine speeds
  • taking multiple trips averaging 5 to 10 miles in length
  • frequent cold start-ups and shut downs
  • extensive engine idling
  • towing and/or hauling heavy loads
  • driving in dusty or muddy conditions
  • driving in mountainous terrain

Protect your vehicle with proper maintenance to counteract the effects of severe driving.
