The story began in 1959 when Honda first raced at the Isle of Man TT. Needing a reliable partner to provide lubricants for its precision engineered race bikes Castrol was the number one choice. So it was no surprise when Castrol received a letter from Honda asking for help with lubricants for its race team. The rest as they say is history.
Example of batch number and location
Castrol is voluntarily recalling one litre bottles of Castrol oil used in two stroke engines due to water contamination. The contamination in some bottles may potentially be sufficient to cause engine seizure. The affected products and the batch numbers are listed below and were on sale from 3 September 2012. The products are mainly used in motorcycles or small scooters, but can also be used in other equipment with two stroke engines.
See full list of products and batch numbers below.
