Castrol was founded on 19 March 1899 by Charles “Cheers” Wakefield in Swindon, England. It was originally named the Wakefield Oil Company. In 1909, the company began production of a new automotive lubricant named “Castrol” (a contraction of castor oil, from which it was made) and as such the company name changed. The company developed specific oil applications for the new internal combustion engine, including automobiles, motorcycles, and aircraft. Shop here
