I seem to recall not too long ago a question mentioned about EDGE; does it have all of the same "good stuff" in it that GTX Ultraclean and Magnatec have. I don't remember seeing an answer though. If this was already resolved and I have duplicated someone else's work, forgive me.
I sent an e-mail to Castrol, here was my question:
Does EDGE have the same benefits of GTX Ultraclean (sludge clean up) and Magnatec (cling)?
Here is the response from them:
Thank you for contacting Castrol North America.
Castrol EDGE is as good and even better at fighting sludge and deposit build up. It contains the same sludge buster technology as Castrol GTX ULTRACLEAN and is even more effective at resisting the effects of high temperature and the strains and pressures delivered by the engine.
By being a synthetic oil, along with the sludge and deposit performance, Castrol EDGE provides superior levels of oil burn off protection, meets tougher European standards for protection and includes our patented liquid titanium additive to help reduce wear, increase film strength and reduce friction. The titanium additive has also been demonstrated to improve anti-sludge performance.
Sludge protection is called out as a distinguishing feature for Castrol GTX ULTRACLEAN. However, it certainly translates to Castrol EDGE with even more protection in many areas.
Both Castrol EDGE and GTX MAGNATEC formulations contain the intelligent molecule that protect the engine from start-up in the ILSAC / API SN PLUS grades. Castrol EDGE adds Titanium, our patented titanium molecule technology that has demonstrated anti-wear and friction reduction performance, to the mix so both products are great for stop and go engine operations.
Castrol EDGE is our premium product line.
