Castrol EDGE Q&A

[Shannow]

Couple from me:

firstly, I agree with other posters that HTHS is increasingly becoming a metric that oil users understand, and it would be great to have that on PDS.

Secondly, moving the 0W-40 to Non DPF safe must have been a conscious decision. What was it in the new formulations that made it worthy of dropping DPFs ?

Thirdly, at least in Australia, I've only ever seen the 0W-20 in 20 litres drums at the dealer, and not on retail shelves. Is this going to change ?

They wait a few weeks for everyone to ask a question then compile and answer them.

I don't have any questions, but I like that your quart bottles have a large opening/mouth. It makes pouring the oil into a funnel a lot easier.

Question 1: Would it be possible to provide actual HTHS viscosity data on the PDS Sheets? Many folks would appreciate the information.

Thanks in advance

I think the new acronym should be, CESPT

No, that's bad. "Sea spit."

Maybe we should check a VOA of sodium levels - that might be an accurate statement

Hi,

Thanks for sponsoring this site, my questions are:

1) Do you have any TBN data of the new formulation on Edge Syntec and Edge w/ Titanium? What is the main difference between them?

2) What is the major difference between the old and new formula? Is it mainly the additive? or is the base oil changed significantly too?

3) Can we assume that if we could run the old Syntec for 10k miles, we can run 42% longer at 14.2k miles because it has that much better ability to fight deposit? What's the recommendation on using it as extended drain?

Why is 5W-50 Edge labeled as 5W, when it's 40C viscosity is the same as the 40C viscosity of your 15w40 Tection Extra diesel oil

How much more effective is Titanium than moly for engine wear?

 

[virginoil]

Does the Castrol Edge Titanium formula retain the same proposries for the oil to cling like advertised for the Magnatec formula.

 

[T-Stick]

Is the Castrol Edge SPT in 5w-40 suitable for use in small turbo diesels like the Jeep Liberty CRD since it has a CF rating?

I think most of us at BITOG would love to see a more comprehensive PDS for all Edge/SPT and Edge /FST.

Thank you and I have been very pleased with both Edge brands so far.

Thanks to all of those that participated in this Q&A.

We hope to have the answers posted in the next couple weeks.

Thanks,
