WAYNE, N.J., July 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Castrol, one of the world's leading providers of motor oils and lubricants, has partnered with Walmart Tire and Lube Express to revolutionize how oil change facilities are built and operated with its Castrol Enviro- Pack (e-Pack) and innovative e-Dispense system.

The collaboration between Castrol and Walmart Tire and Lube Express is further tangib...
