Longer oil drain intervals with Castrol Hypuron AF

Castrol claims that its latest semi-synthetic engine oil, Hypuron AF, can extend oil drain intervals significantly with the introduction of a new additive pack. The firm said its 10W30 oil has the ability to double oil drain intervals from the near industry standard 500hours to 1000hours with the use of frequent oil analysis. It has been drawing on the experience of several US mine and quarry operators who are already achieving 1250hour oil change intervals, who are chasing a target of 1400hour for their
