Castrol, founded in 1899 by Charles "Cheers" Wakefield, is a renowned British company specializing in high-performance lubricants and automotive fluids. Initially named CC Wakefield & Company, the brand introduced "Castrol" motor oil in 1909, derived from adding castor oil to their lubricants. This innovation led to the company adopting the Castrol name in 1960. In 2000, Castrol became a subsidiary of BP, further expanding its global reach.
