Castrol: lubricants and care for your motorcycle

Castrol traces its origins to the company Charles Wakefield founded in 1899 under the name C. C. Wakefield & Company. Adding castor oil to its early formulations led to the Castrol name, which eventually became the company name in 1960. Its history is linked to lubricant development and its presence in motorsport.

At Motarea, the selection of Castrol motorcycle oils brings together products for four-stroke and two-stroke engines, forks and transmissions. Technical sprays, brake fluid and coolant for different maintenance tasks complete the range. Each family serves a specific purpose: choosing the right product means checking the system in which it will be used.

Castrol oils for four-stroke and two-stroke engines

The Castrol 4T oils include products from the POWER1, POWER1 ULTIMATE and POWER1 Scooter ranges, with different viscosities and formulations. Before an oil change, check the SAE grade and the API and JASO specifications required by your motorcycle manufacturer. The clutch type and whether the engine shares its lubrication with the gearbox also matter; viscosity alone does not determine the choice.

The Castrol 2T oil family is intended for lubricating two-stroke engines and includes POWER1 and A747 products. Conditions of use vary between products. Check whether the oil is intended for premixing or for your engine’s separate oil-injection system, and follow the relevant mixing ratio and instructions for use.

Fork oil and transmission lubricants

The Castrol fork products let you explore different Fork Oil viscosities for suspension maintenance. Selection should follow the fork manufacturer’s recommendation. Among the Castrol transmission lubricants, you will find products for gearbox or final-drive applications, depending on the product. Check the assembly type, viscosity and required specification before replacing the fluid.

Technical sprays and maintenance fluids

The Castrol technical sprays bring together chain lubricants, a treatment for foam air filters, multipurpose products and a cleaner for metal parts. Choose each formula according to its purpose and the materials on which it will be applied; a chain lubricant and a parts cleaner serve different functions.

The selection of Castrol fluids includes React Performance DOT 4 brake fluid and Motorcycle Coolant. Always check the system specification and the conditions of use for each product.
