Castrol Elixion 5W-30 is blended with synthetic-based oils and an additive package to improve fuel economy, reduce oil consumption, extend drain intervals, and lessen engine wear.

The company is introducing SynStat, a program administered by a team of independent fleet performance management specialists who will compare fuel usage data in vehicle's running with Elixion with those running on the fleet's usual oil.

Elixion also protects against wear, oxidation, soot, and piston deposits diesel engines produce. It carries the API CI-4 certification and can help maximize engine life. Elixion outperformed many CI-4 bench tests, including scoring 24% lower on crosshead wear and 20% lower on top ring wear than the test limits.

Castrol will provide its Labcheck fluid diagnostics monitoring service free for one year to let fleet managers gauge engine conditions while running with Elixion.

Elixion also offers extended drain capability up to 60,000 miles or more. For more information, phone 800-777-1466 or access the web site at www.castrolhdl.com.
