0w-20, PP vs Edge vs M1

[ToyotaNSaturn]

Walmart had no 0w-20 oils in stock (terribly managed auto oil area).

Advance Auto had Edge and M1 0w-20 products. I'd like to try PP but it's never anywhere on a store shelf. It's much easier to sell it to the public if it was actually on the shelf.

Does Castrol Edge possess any advantages over M1 in this viscosity? I ended up purchasing 5qts with filter 'special' of M1. Edge is $5.99/qt this month, not a great deal, but not terrible these days either.

Edge.

You'll be fine with the M1.

I have been running Edge, however it is in the 5w-30 flavor with zero problems... I get around 13K out of a Edge OCI, and think it's superior to M1 in just my thinking, and noise level my engine makes. I have stated many times how much less start up noise I get with Edge, and overall it seems like a top tier oil !!

That said I'm not loyal to ay of the brands, I purchased my limit on the M1 5w-20 EP from AdvancedAuto because it was cheap enough !! If they had the same viscosity at the same price I would have chosen Edge hands down.

Run your Edge without worry, it;s a great oil, one of the best off the shelf oil/tiers you can purchase !!

I'll be going with M1 0-20 this OC coming up. Will go 10K OCI as I have always done with M1. Also the 5-20-30EP is outstanding for the very long haul. Quite and clean engines will be your benefit.

They say some flavors of edge run on the thin side if that matters to you any..the M1 will do you right.

Edge gets my vote.

Mine too! I tried M1 0w20, Amsoil ASM 0w20 and Edge 0W20. I'll be sticking with the Edge!

I'd be nice for you guy's that run edge to UOA your O change,i'd be nice to see more on this oil to get a good pattern on different vehicles.

i do think it's a performer,just not allot on it.

Cant speak of PP, but imo Edge 5w20 is an amazing oil! The 0w20 M1 is good too, but id prolly opt for the edge

 

[johnywest]

I prefer 0W-20 Valvoline Synpower. My car didn't like Mobil 1 0W-20. There was some burn off at 3,000 miles, which doesn't happen to my 2007 Camry Hybrid with other oil.

I wonder how Edge does it. It's weird they've figured out a way to make an oil so quiet and smooth. I wonder what the magic ingredient is.

Non-M1 LOUD Ingredients.

The only other oil ive heard of quieting an engine down that much is RP.

PP is nice and all but for this id not to Edge.

I give the nod to EDGE 0w20, first oil (and I've used all mentioned M1EP, PP, PU, M1) that quieted down my Civic. I was reluctant to buy it because of BP's...I'll leave that for another post. All I know it isn't a placebo effect. I wanted to hate BP's products, and never had used them very suprized at the quality.
