Founded in 1899 as CC Wakefield & Company and later renamed Castrol, the brand has grown into a worldwide name in lubrication under the ownership of BP. Castrol develops and markets a broad range of premium lubricants including engine oils (such as Castrol EDGE, MAGNATEC, GTX), transmission fluids, greases, hydraulic oils, and marine and industrial lubricants. Its formulations are engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern engines and machinery, combining performance, protection, and reliability. Castrol also champions innovation and sustainability — for example, its Marine Bio and bio-synthetic oil ranges and ongoing research into advanced, lower-impact lubricants. From daily driving to heavy industrial use, Castrol is committed to keeping equipment running smoother, lasting longer, and operating more efficiently.
