Castrol is now BP's oil brand. BP blends the same range of lube products, using the same additives in pretty much the same proportions as all the other major downstream operators: ExxonMobil, Shell, ChevronTexaco, Phillips66. Industry standards require the brands to be compatible and interchangable for equivalent products.
One or the other of these blends the products for manufacturer brands like Honda, Motorcraft, Toyota, etc. I know the Ponca City lube plant was blending for Honda and Ford ten years ago, but those contracts may have gone elsewhere.
The only reason I have for avoiding BP products when I can is that I worked 22 years in the industry, more than twelve of those on industry-wide joint projects, and hated the way BP tried to do business whenever I worked with them. So I would rather not give them my money to help keep them solvent.
