They have ACEA: A1, A5, A3, C3 variants to choose from.


no, only A3 spec and C3. The 0w30 A5 was pao based a few years ago.. sadly they removed pao from it

Thank you that's good to know, I believe I've used both A3 and A5 but will get the A3 next time then.

They might a bit, but in Europe two Castrol products are majority PAO: Supercar 10W60 and Edge 0W30 C3.

Unfortunately A3 is up to 50% now. C3 is up to 75%.

that is a lot of PAO content i guess?

after all, i went with Shell Helix Ultra 5w30 ECT C3 (5 litres. produced in 2019. i think motoroil is good for 5 yrs when stored properly). the castrol edge 0w30 C3 is so darn expensive! 2½ times the price of shell. i don't think it's worth that much (also castrol only comes in 4 & 1 litre jugs –which further increased the price) so none of that sweet sweet PAO for me

another thing: no idea why shell's lubematch TR site shows professional AG as premium while UK and DE lubematch sites show ECT as premium:
