Castrol Edge Extended Performance 0W20

I'd ask for a refund since you can't return it. They delivered the wrong product. If it's not them being incompetent, it's fraud. Since you've been in touch w Castrol I'd let them know if it happens again.
I contacted Amazon about the situation. I was offered 30% refund which I accepted. Brought the total price down to $6.12/ QT out the door (including taxes fees etc). Roughly the equivalent of $30.63 for a 5 quart. Not to bad because Walmart selling Jugs for $29.99 online and the 6 pack individual quarts are more convenient for me. However If it hits the shelves locally at Walmart eventually I'll just go that route. Maybe my next subscribe and save has the new oil.
 
Help! So Amazon delivered today. Looks like the old 20k formula. Dexos license# is the same. However its missing the jaguar cert. Can anyone confirm of it's just a label change or is the new 25k oil reformulated. I think I might return it 😑

If they reformulated they need to recertify it for Dexos.

It looks like BP is trying to pull a fast one on customers.
 
I’m still a bit hazy on the fraud. But maybe that’s just me.

I said if it's not incompetence then it would be fraud. If they advertise (show pictures) of Product 2.0 and deliver Product 1.0 you weren't sold what you paid for. Apparently in this case it's not just a label issue t's a different formula. Even though there is a fair amount of counterfeiting in the products sold through Amazon I'd lean towards incompetence of not keeping track of their stockroom.

Yeah, sure thing.
 
Well tonight the machine has been baptized with Castrol EP 20k. Definitely a considerable improvement on cold starts as far as valvetrain chatter.

I am Definitely thinking about putting a jug of this in my Subaru for the coldest months in the winter. It reminds me of the NES cartridge for the legend of Zelda.

What year and engine model is your Subaru? Depending the model if it’s a 2019+ might want to try for 5w-30 version to fight fuel dilution.

I have a 2025 Outback Wilderness and this is an extensive topic of conversation over at my website, SubaruOutback.org:

I'm perfectly content using Castrol Edge EP 0W20 or PUP 0W20 based on UOA data I've seen both at the aforementioned website as well as here at BITOG
 
When I was in Walmart the day before yesterday the 0w20 25K Edge EP (Gold jug) was $25.97 for the 5 quart jug.
I'd never go 25K on any oil but I'd feel better doing 10K with this oil or Mobil1 EP in my sump.

PS: Has anybody figured out if the current Mobil1 EP is really the same as the discontinued Mobil1 AP?
