Castrol EDGE 8 X better Wear Protection than Mobil

[buster]

Castrol Edge 0w40

Their 0w40 looks really good.

Pour point -60C telling me this is not another hydrocracked fOOl synthetic oil. Sound like a real stuff!

 

[sparkplug]

I might be interested in trying this...

 

[Bryanccfshr]

I will of course be willing to try this Catrol Edge.

Geez, it was only just posted and 5 pages on lol ! Mobil 1 are copping it nicely.

I cant see Mobil supplying base oil to Valvoline and Castrol for much longer.....hehe

 

[Audi Junkie]

My WalMart was completely stocked w/M1. 0w-30, 0w-20, HM, EP, TDT.

They will...there's money in it.

More than not selling it to them and letting a competitor in.

reminds me of the punchline of a joke...."We've already established that, now we're haggling over price"

How will team silver spin this one?

A few years ago, even though it was 12.9cst#100C, it gave worse fuel economy in my truck than M1 0W-40.

For those that say it's just "marketing", obviously it is but that doesn't mean there is no factual basis to claims being made. I would think the facts were established, and then marketed.


I agree, if Ashland was wrong they would been quickly shut up. Now BP takes a shot at the giant, that would make them more stupid than Ashland. They found a flaw and are using it against XOM. It should be interesting, but as always, spend your money as you see fit!

I'm still on page one. You guys need to set your options to 99 posts per page.

Called Castrol @ 800-255-4417.

An independent lab tested Royal Purple, M1, Valvoline and Edge outperformed all of them on the ASTM Seq IVA wear test.

Castrol/Valvoline use Lubrizol as a supplier and I believe that is where the difference lies...

XOM produces most base oils but they are not a leader in additive technology AFAIK.

I've got short attention span. By the time I read about 25 responses, I get an itch to click something.

Another promising oil. This would be the 8th type of oil used in my Tacoma...who says sticking to one kind has to be done.

I think this is very true. I think it started even earlier as well, with Havoline DS.....
