Castrol EDGE motor oil

Castrol is a globally recognized brand specializing in industrial and automotive lubricants. Originally founded in the United Kingdom in 1899 as the Wakefield Oil Company by Charles Wakefield, the brand was later renamed Castrol after the castor oil the company added to its lubricant formulas. The brand has a long history of association with high-performance engines and competitive motorsports.

In terms of manufacturing, Castrol operates a vast network of production facilities worldwide to serve regional markets efficiently. As indicated on the packaging, this specific unit was produced within the European Union. In 1966, Castrol was acquired by the British company Burmah Oil, which was subsequently purchased by BP (formerly British Petroleum) in 2000. Today, Castrol operates as a premium brand under the BP umbrella, maintaining its headquarters in the United Kingdom while distributing products to over 140 countries.
