Castrol GTX Full Synthetic Motor Oil

Owner:BP plc (United Kingdom)
OriginUnited Kingdom
Manufactured:Canada

Castrol GTX Full Synthetic Motor Oil is a high-performance lubricant designed for modern engines, specifically identified in this packaging as being manufactured in Canada for the North American market. The Castrol brand has a deep-rooted history, dating back to 1899 when it was founded in the United Kingdom as the C.C. Wakefield & Company. The brand became synonymous with innovation in lubricants after adding castor oil to their formulas, leading to the official brand name change to Castrol in 1960.

Currently, Castrol is a major global player in the automotive and industrial lubricant sector. Since 2000, the brand has been a primary subsidiary of BP (formerly British Petroleum), one of the world's seven "supermajor" oil and gas companies. While the brand originated in the UK, its production is distributed globally to meet regional demands, with Wakefield Canada serving as the strategic partner and manufacturer for the Canadian market. This ensures that the product meets specific regional environmental and engine performance standards while maintaining the global quality benchmarks set by BP.
