I have a small workshop in Melbourne, Australia and I specialise in Focus XR5/ST/RS (as well as Fiesta ST and Mondeo XR5), so I use a lot of Castrol Edge 0W-40, as that is one of the few oils which meets Ford WSS-M2C937-A, required for the Volvo 5cyl in the Focus XR5, Mondeo XR5 and LV Focus RS. It is also specified for the LZ Focus RS with the 2.3L EcoBoost.
Between my last 20L drum order and today’s, it looks like Castrol Australia has finally run out of the SN formulation and I’ve got a new SP drum!
A few interesting things I’ve noticed:
- it’s no longer Castrol Edge Professional A3 0W-40, but rather Castrol Edge 0W-40 A3/B4 (it’s lost ‘professional’ from its name).
- It has gained BMW LL-01
- It has lost Porsche A40
I’ve attached photos of the two drums (one SN and the other the new SP) and both PDS docs. Interested in your thoughts of the two oils. Cheers.
