Castrol Edge @ $8.29 a Quart?

[My442]

Does anyone buy that stuff? Seems like a ton of money for a quart of oil.

I'm running it in my M3 as a curiosity. Only 1600 miles on it right now. Will post a UOA when I get to 4k or so. It is expensive, and we will see shortly if it is worth it or not.

Especially when you can get the vastly superior Motul 300v for a tenner.

Some Walmarts have it for $4

Hi,
Mv442 - Castrol's Edge range is quite diverse. Essentially you pay for what you get within the Edge range. What version are you refering to?

As for defining how Motul 300V is "vastly superior"..........??

Why would it not be? You have Fuchs silkolene and Motul 300V at the top shelf, locked cabinet - then you have your Designer oils ... Ooohhh, makes me want to break into another DeChamps Moulin a Vent Bourgogne Rouge - naughty naughty!

Using it right now in 2 vehicles.

Even though I didn't pay $8.29 a qt. Beer still costs too much but I still buy it!!

Hi,
ARCOgraphite - Please define "vastly superior"! Top shelf, locked cabinet? Really??

To what, why and etc.....................

6.79 at wal mart...i saw some M1 for 14.69$ a quart at a vermont truck stop...i guess you can use the oil to lube your rear after paying that price

I might try Edge, but only if it is quite a bit cheaper. But then Syntec would have to be cheaper, then I might just buy that instead....

I suppose I will still need to see UOA's that prove it is superior to the Walmart Syn I am using at $3.40/quart. I'm kidding of course but in my subaru I wonder if it could do better:

No. You know by now. To each Man his own beverage of choice ...

I think Autozone (or one of the like chain stores) has it on sale for five quarts and a filter for $30...
