Castrol EDGE Bio-Synthetic

[bluesubie]

Thanks for the feedback shovel and OS4A.

It seems that anytime someone on BITOG mentions a low Noack, the oil company removes it from the PDS (thinking about the original Pennzoil GTL data sheets).

Data sheets were updated last Friday and Noack is no longer listed.

With the amount of corn we produce, I'm waiting to see an engine oil made from it. Ultra refined cooking corn oil anyone?!

A six-pack case of it is $24.07: https://www.amazon.com/Castrol-03555-Bio-Synthetic-Advanced-Synthetic/dp/B01N5QXW29?th=1

This oil seems to be unknown among the Edges here (actually found it only now, when searching the board for the other Biosynthetic) and so far only saw the one UOA that OS4A had ordered. Which didn't really bring up weaknesses over the medium interval. The CAS number leads to another oil made by ROWE

containing more than 60% of these Alkenes. But Alkenes to me somehow sound like "medium OCIs only" and this oil again was API / ILSAC only.


Now the other Biosynthetics just featured a low temperature version of its medium viscosity base oil with its deviation from the normal structure, pour point and oxidative stability in that it remains less saturated. About the sound that Alkenes also would have to me.

ROWE's PDS claims very high oxidative stability due to the fully synthetic base oils. So the truth must lie or ly somewhere inbetween, or would I be completely mislead to not expect any longer "longlife" from these Alkene-oils in general?

I considered buying it but after my failed attempt to order, the compulsion diminished.
