Now accepting stockist applications
Following the re-entry of this range in the UK and then throughout Europe the range which is specifically recommended for Cars and Bikes pre 1980 is now growing into the world Classic markets.
“Owners of these pre 1980 vehicles should be using the Castrol Classic oils as these products were specifically developed, designed and made for these cars and motorcycles.”
This site explains the technical features of this range. It must be noted that as the modern engine has developed the oils used also had to change as well as meet new emission regulations. However older engines need a different oil.
The formulations required for modern vehicles are very different from those needed for older vehicles. Oils for modern engines comply with the latest API ratings of SN/CF and specific ACEA and OEM specifications dealing with fuel efficiency, extended drain intervals and aftermarket exhaust treatment systems and are specifically designed for the modern engine needs. High pressure points in and metal to metal surfaces in the older engines need to be protected by the best lubricating and anti wear additive known as ZDDP or Zinc Dialkyldithiophosphate. This is a product that is removed from modern oils due to emission regulations and the clogging of Catalytic convertors.
