Is your workshop using the right oil for every vehicle?

Using the wrong oil can lead to premature engine wear and put unnecessary strain on other critical vehicle components.

With so many oil specifications on the market, choosing the correct one isn’t always straightforward. That’s where our Castrol oil look up comes in 🔎

Simply search by registration or vehicle details and you’ll instantly find the Castrol approved oil recommendation for the job, helping you get it right first time, every time.

✨ And now it’s got a fresh new look, making it quicker and easier to use than ever before!

Abdul and Luke spent the day at Green End Garage recently, alongside the team from Ben Automotive Charity.

Ben provides lifelong support to people who work, or have worked, in the automotive industry. The visit gave the team at Green End Garage the opportunity to learn more about the support available through Ben, as well as how to access it whenever they may need it.

A big thank you to Ben - Support for Life for taking the time to share the valuable work they do and the support they provide across our industry 💛
