Castrol in the US

In the US, Castrol is a top choice for motorists who change their own oil. Our metal working and machining fluids are critical to the production of components for the automotive and aerospace industries. Our production fluids are at the forefront of oil exploration and production in the waters of the Gulf of America, and our specialist greases and lubricants have played key roles in space exploration for decades.

 

 

Lower-carbon footprint lubricants

Castrol MoreCircular for Business, launched in May 2024, is a program designed to reduce the carbon footprint of lubricants. Used oil is collected from business-to-business customers like fleet maintenance shops, automotive workshops or industrial manufacturing sites by our partner Safety-Kleen, then re-refined and integrated into premium lubricants for supply to businesses.

 

The ‘Castrol MoreCircular’ offer combines Castrol’s cutting-edge lubricant technology with Safety-Kleen’s wide geographic reach and expertise in collecting and re-refining used oil.

 

*These lubricants achieve a lower carbon footprint by using re-refined base oils in place of some or all of the virgin base oils traditionally present in Castrol lubricants, resulting in lower cradle to gate production emissions. 

 

On the court and on the track
