Early in the new century, Wakefield took a personal interest in two sporty new motorised contraptions — the automobile and the aeroplane.
The company started developing lubricants for these new engines, which needed oils that were runny enough to work from cold at start-up and thick enough to keep working at very high temperatures.
Wakefield researchers found that adding a measure of castor oil, a vegetable oil made from castor beans, did the trick nicely. Wakefield renamed the company simply as Castrol Ltd. The company remained at the cutting edge of lubricant technology, opening a state of the art research facility in Bracknell, and developing the product line to include oils specifically for car manufacturer's individual engines.
By this point, Castrol products were available from service stations and garage forecourts in more than countries worldwide. Castrol remained a major sponsor for motor sports and world record attempts - including the London to Mexico rally, where 16 of the 23 finishers used Castrol lubrication. Burmah Oil's operations were folded into the group, whilst Castrol carried on developing and selling lubricants under its own established name.
