Volkswagen Group has renewed and extended the global supply agreement with Castrol.

Castrol has been the global preferred lubricants supplier for Volkswagen and Audi brands since 1999. This latest agreement extends that arrangement until 2015, and now also covers the Seat, Skoda and Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles brands.

The contract covers the supply of lubricants for factory first-fill and an exclusive recommendation to Volkswagen Group’s franchised retailer networks for service-fill lubricants.

These lubricants – exclusive to Volkswagen Group’s franchised retailer networks – are co-engineered with Castrol to exceed statutory performance requirements and to help maximise the operational performance of specific Volkswagen Group engines.

They are exclusively available to franchised retailers under the Castrol Professional brand.
