Castrol Edge Extended Performance Availability

[XL1200RFan]

I use Castrol Edge EP in certain vehicles, and I've noticed lately that there is none on the shelves at the local Walmart, Advance AP or AutoZone; it is still available via Walmart.com. Any thoughts from the group as to why it seems to have disappeared? It is good oil; essentially Castrol Edge Professional without the dye.

Thanks.

Still at my local WM. It is a bit outdated, though. It is not spec’d for SN+ or Dexos1 gen2.

Castrol is not very popular here on bitog (excluding 0W-40), let alone Castrol EP. I think I’ve seen one UOA of it in the last few months.

Catrol Edge Extended Performance is SN+. Castrol updated their data sheet a few months ago.

Thanks. Guess it hasn’t made ya way to the shelves yet (as of last week). No d1g2, though?

The regular Edge 0W-20 is already labelled Dexos 1 Gen 2 so I don't know why their top-end offering the Edge EP would not also be.

SN+ is a newer standard then Dexos 1 Gen 2. The previous Edge Professional 5W-30 that was replaced by Edge EP is licensed Dexos 1 Gen 2 but not SN+ -- since SN+ has only been out for a few months. I would be surprised if Castrol took a step backwards with the EP.

Engine oil yes, but transmax atf is up there with maxlife on here. They have some decent gear oils, too iirc.
