At Castroil, we are committed to promoting safe and responsible use of engine oil products. This Policy Statement outlines our guidelines and recommendations for the proper handling, storage, and disposal of engine oil to ensure environmental protection, health, and safety.

Proper Usage

2. Storage Guidelines:

   • Store engine oil containers in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and sources of heat.
   • Keep engine oil containers tightly closed to prevent contamination and evaporation.

3. Spill Prevention: Take precautions to prevent spills during oil changes or handling. Use drip pans or absorbent materials to contain spills, and clean up any spills promptly.

Disposal and Recycling

1. Used Oil Collection: Dispose of used engine oil responsibly by recycling it at designated collection centers or participating auto service facilities.
