## Oil from a workshop name

Castrol started in London in 1899 as C.C. Wakefield & Co., selling lubricants for cars and early aircraft, and took its name from the castor oil in its first motor oils. More than 120 years later it is the brand most Nordic workshops already have on the dispenser, and most service books name an oil grade that Castrol makes.

## Two ranges for the service bay

EDGE is the premium range, with the long-life approvals VW, Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Porsche ask for, from 0W-20 up to 10W-60. MAGNATEC is the everyday range, built around additives that stay on engine parts between starts, with grades for Ford, Stellantis and Fiat specifications and a separate MAGNATEC Hybrid line for petrol hybrids. Each grade is named by viscosity and the specification it targets.

## Technology

- [EDGE seven-factor testing](https://car-parts-universe.superfast.shop/en/technology/edge-seven-factor-testing.md): Castrol tests EDGE oils on seven factors: pressure, power, endurance, fuel economy, high-temperature performance, cleanliness and wear.
- [MAGNATEC intelligent molecules](https://car-parts-universe.superfast.shop/en/technology/magnatec-intelligent-molecules.md): Additive molecules that cling to metal surfaces while the engine is off, so the valve train, timing chain and bearings are covered at start-up, when most wear happens.
- [HYSPEC](https://car-parts-universe.superfast.shop/en/technology/hyspec.md): Castrol's own hybrid performance standard, covering oil contamination, combustion in the engine and system efficiency in hybrid duty.
