Yes, but how much PAO? I doubt it is 100% PAO/Ester base stock.

By the new definitons of synthetic, a company can call a 100% Group III oil to be "100% synthetic" or "fully synthetic," etc.

Can you provide a "link" or reference to the new definitions. I am anxious to read/understand them.

Got a URL for that?

My guess is that is a typo.

Signed up for the e-mail that they compare their diesel oil vs Castrol, Rotella, and Chevron.

I thought it was a typo at first too, but they never changed anything months after they released it (I tried it again)

I'd better tell all the BMW dealerships who have just changed from M1 0W40 to Castrol Edge 0W40 they have made a grave mistake

I think the Castrol Edge offered in the US as a 5W-30 and 10W-30 are very good products. But they are in no way the same as offered in Europe/Asia in the 0W-30 and 0W-40 weights...

Are you saying no Edge 0W40 in the U.S?

Not yet. So far only 5W-30 and 10W-30. Their website seems to imply that other viscosities are coming. I would suspect 5W-20 would be one of them, but that is only a guess.

I am getting ready to use it now I bought 4 qt's from pep Boys and used the $10 off coupon that was posted on this site along with the free qt. Castrol sent me. Wor4s out to $4.00 a qt. Not the best price but better than i have found anyplace else.

Rest in peace CincyBob, you were a really good guy.
