I've just been presented with an opportunity to get a decent amount of the non-US Castrol Edge Sport 0w40 for a good price.
KV@100: 13.1
KV@40: 77.5
VI: ? (old figure was 171)
HTHS: 3.6
TBN: 7.7
Pour: -60C/-76F
ACEA A3/B3/B4/C2/C3
API SM/CF
BMW LL04
MB 229.31/229.51
Porsche
VW 502.00/503.01/505.00
Looks to be an extremely light Xw40. Can't tell what the basestocks are but I'd guess they're PAO based on the numbers (especially the pour point).
Any compelling reason to acquire this stuff? I was going to run German Castrol for the next change but this stuff has peaked my interest. Not terribly worried about the moderate TBN as I run a shorter change interval due to my driving habits. The SM rating is obviously better than GC's SL.
