Castrol recently announced a long-term strategic partnership with Driven Brands and Take 5 Oil Change. Integrating training, service and marketing efforts, the two companies will partner to ensure continued growth for both Castrol and Take 5 Oil Change locations.

“The automotive aftermarket is changing at an ever-accelerating pace, and consumers demand more every day,” said David Bouet, president of Castrol USA and Canada. “Take 5 Oil Change is at the forefront of those changes in providing time- and convenience-starved consumers a quick and convenient service.”

The two companies will combine industry expertise and data-driven insights to continue accelerating Take 5 Oil Change's aggressive expansion plans.
