    Castrol EDGE 0W-30 SPT Full Synthetic

    Originally Posted By: edyvw Quote: I can get M1 0W-40 at a decent price. So, I will go with that then. I would go with GC since you want ACEA A3 oil! I used both, and believe 0W30 Castrol has an edge over M1. Plus, GC has HTHS 3.58 while M1 has 3.8. For you car both are overkill, so go with...

    Castrol EDGE 0W-30 SPT Full Synthetic

    Castrol EDGE 0W-30 SPT Full Synthetic

    Originally Posted By: Quattro Pete M1 5w-30 is ACEA A1/B1, low HT/HS viscosity, and that's what I'd use since that's what your owner's manual calls for. The other two are ACEA A3/B4, high HT/HS viscosity, and likely overkill in your case, as was already noted by other members. Okie. I didn't...

    Originally Posted By: Quattro Pete Originally Posted By: C_Bjerke I was given suggestions of the Mobil 1 5W-30, the Castrol German 0W-30, and a Penzoil Ultra 5W-40 Euro for my car. One of these is very unlike the other two in this lineup. Explain as to which I should consider and what to...

    Castrol EDGE 0W-30 SPT Full Synthetic

    Originally Posted By: edyvw Originally Posted By: C_Bjerke No oil leaks at all. Drives quite nice actually. It has over 137k miles and bought used so I don't know what was done before. It has a full synthetic in it now. Stick to Mobil1 5W30. Considering it is calling for ACEA A1/A5. GC would...

    Castrol EDGE 0W-30 SPT Full Synthetic

    Originally Posted By: Quattro Pete Originally Posted By: C_Bjerke Is this appropriate in a 2002 Volvo V70XC?? Does the owner's manual call for something thicker like ACEA A3/B4? If not, then I'd probably skip Edge 0w-30 and run something with lower HT/HS viscosity and potentially gain a...

    Mobil 3309 vs. Castrol TransMax Multi-Import ATF

    Mobil 3309 vs. Castrol TransMax Multi-Import ATF

    I am writing to see if there is any difference in using Mobil versus the Castrol Transmax in my car. I have a 2002 Volvo V70XC. I bought this car used and don't know what, if any maintenance was done on it nor how it was driven. I have heard I should only use the Mobil, some have said the...
