hanks for the linkĀ
Bizarre. I just had to look this up and they've been owned by Boots too at one point too! I mean, I know Boots are a retail company, but what an odd couple they must have made. I wonder if they ever mixed up baby oil and 10w/40 orders. Can you run a Fazer on baby oil, come to that.
Looks like they're a standalone PLC now having been floated on the LSE in 2010. No idea whether Castrol supply their own brand oil, but there's precious few companies that actually make basic oil, so it'll likely come from the same place, just with different additives.
