Castrol oils are among the world’s leading lubricants, providing one of the most widely traded motor oils for centuries at accessible prices.
Founded in 1899 in England by Charles Cheers Wakefield, the company saw early potential in the development and production of essential lubricants for land transportation.
A decade after its founding, Wakefield developed a revolutionary oil named "Castrol," derived from the Latin name for castor oil, one of its base oils. To this day, the Castrol name represents premium quality, exceptional performance, and cutting-edge technology in the oil industry.
Wakefield was among the first to produce motor oil with mineral oil and hydrocarbon bases, boasting an extremely high flash point and pour point below -30°C. The company grew alongside the evolution of motorization. Castrol has always prioritized developing and refining its products with customer collaboration. Many Castrol oils that are now widely available originated as racing-specific formulations, and the company continues to invest significantly in supporting various motorsports.
Thanks to their proprietary Titanium FST technology, Castrol EDGE motor oils allow car enthusiasts to experience true driving pleasure and fully enjoy the thrill of driving. Utilizing Titanium FST technology, Castrol has created its strongest and most advanced motor oil to date, designed to bring out the best in your car’s engine. Castrol EDGE products reduce metal-to-metal contact by up to 45% compared to a leading competitor's oil, and their performance lasts at least 140 hours longer than traditional Castrol oils.
The Castrol MAGNATEC Stop-Start product line offers the perfect solution for engines in urban traffic, where stop-and-go conditions are increasingly common. These oils reduce engine wear caused by frequent stops and starts by 20%. The unique molecules in the Castrol MAGNATEC Stop-Start range form a self-healing protective film that adheres to the engine’s most stressed components, ensuring optimal protection under demanding conditions.
