Castrol is acknowledged as one of the world’s leading automotive lubricant brands. With operations in over 70 countries and 100 agencies worldwide, the company is committed to meeting the needs of customers and consumers around the globe.

Castrol’s pioneering spirit and its involvement in the heat of competition can be traced to the company’s very earliest days. Founder Charles Wakefield believed passionately in building the Castrol brand through an association with record-breaking achievements on land, water and in the air. As early as 1910, Wakefield produced a series of publications to chronicle Castrol’s contribution to these achievements – a legacy that remains to this day.

Castrol continues to follow a philosophy of using motorsport to improve its products, pushing back technological barriers and forcing motor oil to the extremes of performance in a variety of applications. This philosophy sees Castrol currently involved in Formula One, world rallying, world touring cars and Moto GP bikes.

Research and development is also carried out in laboratories around the world, working closely with leading manufacturers, scientific and technical centres and universities. This background has earned Castrol an unparalleled reputation for innovation and quality.

Today Castrol is part of the BP group, one of the three largest integrated energy companies in the world. The combination of Castrol and BP provides new and exciting opportunities for the future and puts the company in the world’s top three lubricants manufacturers.
