Smooth running starts with Castrol Lubricants.

Mining is one of the toughest industries on earth, putting mining machinery under incredible stresses. That's a big problem in an environment where one equipment failure can shut down your whole operation in an instant and where replacement parts and labor can typically account for as much as 85% of your maintenance budget. Heavy-duty vehicles are quite expensive to acquire and maintain. However, as the ongoing cost of lubricants only accounts for 1% to 2% of the total, these costs are frequently disregarded when calculating total cost of ownership.

Castrol's high performance mining lubricants are formulated to reduce the risk of equipment failure, and backed up by a range of value added services like Castrol® Predict, which limits downtime by spotting potential problems before they can turn into expensive breakdowns.

Many operators view lubricants as a straightforward product where they can look to save money. Castrol's liquid engineering solutions may initially cost a little more, but by dramatically lengthening drain intervals and providing fuel savings, they actually lower total cost of ownership.
