Quaker State Ultimate Durability or Castrol Edge (5W-30)

[Swift101]

Well I just used my last jug of PU over the weekend and plan on switching to Quaker State Ultimate Durability but I've been thinking about Castrol Edge.

What's the general consensus on Edge? I've seen some good used oil analysis but some mixed opinions on it's performance as well.

-Thanks

I like the Castrol Edge myself.

I'm looking at a banner just above your post that says it's liquid engineering. IDK, YMMV.

I would opt for the Quaker State Ultimate Durability which I have been pleased with.

Another vote for Castrol.

Flip a coin. They're both good oils. I run Quaker State Ultimate Durability a lot since it's on sale.

Yup, this. There's no compelling reason to run one over the other. Run whichever you get cheapest.

This.

Thanks everyone, I guess the difference between the 2 is negligible.

Since Quaker State Ultimate Durability is around 21.50 it's a good deal.

I just bought a 5 L jug of Castrol Edge for $25 cdn
for my next oil change on our Saturn Vue. I'm using the
5w40 grade in my BMW. No problem with Castrol.

If everything was equal I'd pick the Edge over SOPUS's entry level syn, price adds a little more to the mix though. You won't go "wrong" with either one of course.

Hyundai's always seem to run well on Quaker State Ultimate Durability. I plan on usingQuaker State Ultimate Durability on my next OCI for my wifes Hyundai SF...

 

[Black_Thunder]

either or.

I have run both, no ill effects with either but yes the Quaker State Ultimate Durability seems to be the better deal.

Well, from the seat of my placebo, EDGE feels better in my car. Seriously, both are fine oils.

So Castrol gives your car the extra Edge or margin of error it needs and Quaker State gives your engine Ultimate Durability for the long-term.

When you mix them you get:

Castrol State - Ultimate Edge

I think that from here on out, I will go with Mobil Super Synthetic. It's cheaper, Dexos Certified and offers a nice guarantee (see above). Since we cannot go past 5K miles per oci and it is guaranteed up 7500, I'm confident it will do the job just fine. As i said earlier though, you cannot go wrong with any of your selections either.

Now that you mention it, Mobil Super Synthetic isn't a bad idea, I may give it a shot in the future.

I know this is slightly off topic but has anyone seen Castrol Edge 5W-40 at Walmart??

 

[wemay]

Not sure I have, but 0w40 for sure.

The only downside as I see it to MSS is that it's pretty much an auto parts store oil. So you need to watch for OCI specials to get it at reasonable pricing.

If it sat on the shelf at Wally's I'd suspect it would be extremely popular here, like Quaker State Ultimate Durability is.
