Castrol 5W30 Euro, conflicting approvals

[Japanese]

The newer standard covers the older one, but not vice versa.

^ Did you read this one?

but an average API SL oil won’t meet SQ because of the additive levels for one thing.

Walmart delivered 5 jugs of Mobil1 EP 5-W30 same day once. Blew my mind.

These are all Castrol EDGE Euro oils:

You missed 0W-30 A3/B4

The OP asked for the VW 504 / 507 approvals. Those are covered only by EDGE Euro 0W30 LL and EDGE Euro 5W-30 K, not the A3/B4 oils—according to the Castrol website (link above).

Ok I just saw "these are Castrol Edge Euro Oils."

M1 ESP 0W-30 is VW 504, and it's in almost every Walmart. Why not run that?

To answer your question, you're probably looking at two different Castrol Euro Edges. They have a LL and an A3/B4 and a K. Look closely for those letters on the bottle, and you'll probably find your answer.

Don't have and ESP in my area WMs. FS is there but no ESP

Weird, I don't think I've ever been in a Walmart that didn't have that. Nevertheless, if there is no exhaust aftertreatment then use the 0W-40 FS. It is a very capable oil with the approvals it holds.

I was just researching best WM sold oil for 5.7 hemi. Could not find esp in my local WM in 100 mile radius to me. May just wait on the 0/5w-40 R&P to hit the shelves.

Order online I usually get mine next day for the same price.

For a 5.7 Hemi the 5w30 white bottle of Redline is the nectar of the Gods.
