Edge 5w40 has been available in 5qt jugs for quite some time.
Good to see its going to meet mb 229.5 spec now - means Noack has improved.

Some WM here carry it and some don't. Where it is sold, EDGE 0W-40 is also available.
5 liters as well.

I think you’re right. Here is the 5 liter jug. Good eye!

News to me, thanks! Btw... do you know why they don't market more diesel oils to the US?

Because we don't have that many diesel outside of large trucks, and that market is well covered.

Castrol's USA HQ is nearby in Wayne, NJ.
I was hoping to find a spigot where I could fill my own jugs....but no luck.

Might be a dumb question but how does the 5w-40 stack up to the 0w-40? I have personally run the 0w-40 in my old S3 and it returned very good UOA. I always hear how great the 0w-40 is but don't hear much about this 5w-40? Anyone have VOA or UOA of it?

5W-40 doesn’t look as good on paper (mainly due to lack of 229.5), and is frequently trashed here when compared to 0W-40. However, I think a lot of that is just opinion. I don’t know anyone that has stacked them up against each other in a like for like comparison.

Could be that European version of 5W40 is coming if there is move toward MB229.5.
Castrol is making US version and European version.
European met MB229.5 since introduction of that specification. It would be good if they make same version as Euro version looks good.

I used 5W40 for some time in Passat 1.8T. After 4k valve lifters would start to get noisy. Once I moved to Castrol 0W30 that never happened. Since then I avoid 5W40 like it has plague.

I thought LL-01 went through change couple of years ago?

The 5W-40 is missing the titanium. So can it be assumed to be inferior? At my Walmart the 0W-40 price is not discounted, unlike the 5W-40. Perhaps nothing can be read into the price difference since prices fluctuate anyway.

It is not Titanium, difference is in base oil and additives. Generally 5W40 is on cheaper side (do not confuse that with price in Wal Mart).
