When purchasing motor oil and any other fluid for your car, it is tempting to look for the biggest brightest sign and go with that. However, there has been a lot of changes in the automotive maintenance industry in the past decade. Some of the top companies have fallen to legacy brands while other newcomers surprise with performance and price.
Still, when it comes right down to it, you want to trust the health of your car to a company who has the experience to serve their customers well for decades. Two such companies are Castrol and Mobil 1, who are actually subsidiary companies of some of the largest petrol corporations in the world. That said, how do these 2 giants stack up when compared to one another. Does anyone have an edge, and if so, for what products?
