THE HISTORY OF CASTROL
On 19th March 1899, Charles 'Cheers' Wakefield set up an oil company in England. Ten years later, he produced a new lubricant that would revolutionise transport in the first half of the twentieth century. He called the new oil Castrol.
Castrol oil has become synonymous with world speed and endurance records. From the early days of Malcolm Campbell's land and water speed records, Captain Alcock's non-stop Atlantic flight, to the Mars Rover, Castrol has remained at the cutting edge of technology. With unrivalled quality and exceptional performance in the most adverse conditions, Castrol oils remain the number one choice of motoring pioneers today.
CASTROL CLASSIC OILS
In the early 1990's Castrol steered the re-introduction of their early lubricant grades designed for veteran, vintage, classic cars and motorcycles, and Castrol's Classic Oils was created. Castrol's Classic oil grades use latest technology, low detergent base mineral oils in the appropriate viscosities on which early vehicles were designed to run. Making the right choice of oil has now become simply a matter of looking in the owners' vehicle handbook for the manufacturer's original Castrol recommendation. Castrol's Classic Oil range is widely available throughout the UK, continental Europe and numerous countries worldwide.
