Castrol Edge

Motor mechanic and suspension engineer – The engine oil you can trust owned by British petroleum When I got my vx commodore. The owner manual required 10w 30, I looked up castrol recommended was magautac 15w 40w and thought maybe mistake and rang castrol and it was correct the. Car ran fine on it. So repco had castrol edge on special for $ 40 a bottle and it made big… Read more

change in fuel users and was 650..km around town. And 850 km on. Open road and very happy with d products . I have been use from XL , GTX to edge. So there was some bad stories of GTX in 80s. The car dealer were charging the oil at 1500km at make money at when the had run in oil to bed the rings in. So most were use castrol XL as not friction modified oil . So changing oil at 1500 cases the bore of to glaze there bore and use oil because needed friction to brake the motor in right. It was Japanese cars, as manuals told you not sitting on one speed at all times . They were days you had run in, some still do for new types of auto transmission castrol is company that doesn't say one oil sures all as some do. That why most oils don't put friction modified on labels. So read you hand book on year new car or second hand car for right oil specific. As a lot motor are full alloy and not checking oil and coolants weekly, could cost your good bye motor As it happens in 60s with one USA biggest manufacturer and sold to ròver England and serviced for over 40 years. Don't take the risk, the same as your tyres weekly pressure's. I pcl brand gauge made in England, but I don't know if still buy in Australia or who imports them. As we used them for over 25 year with no problems. I got all my family and friends pen type for gifts over 10 years ago pep parts.

Confused! – I've been using this oil in my various Golf GTI's for over 250k kms but am confused why the Repco and Supercheap sites say its not suitable for my car but the Autobarn and Sparesbox sites say that it is suitable. I know it's good and I change it every 5000kms but why the disparity in suitableness? Is it just a marketing ploy to get me to buy the more expensive LL option oil?

castrol edge titanium 5w30 vs 10w30 – I have used both of these oils in my camry 2013 2.5L engine. Do NOT use 10w30 in your camry ever, despite being the correct oil recommanded by Supercheap system it is defenitely the wrong oil for this type of engine. I did not have VVTI gear issue until I made a mistake and used it in my camry. 5w30 should be the right one everything works fine a… Read more

tuned by this oil the only negative side is the increase in fuel consumption maybe due to increase of performance.

So good – Been running this in my bmw for 12 years and now at 331,000 km the engine still is like brand new no rattles or anything !!! Great stuff !!! Would recommend to everyone much better than most other oils I believe this is a group 4 synthetic so one of the best made !!! Show details

Ripoff!! – You changed the oil recommendations, to the more expensive one. this oil did not exist when my car was manufactured, and you tell me the oil you used to recommend for my vehicle is no longer suitable!! Your just ripping people off, by manipulating them with misinformation!!! It's a disgrace!

No complaints with Castrol Edge, – I drive a 2018 Octavia vRS Sport 2 litre turbo. Unknown to me till I studied the work report, the dealer changed to Castrol Edge 5W-30 at the 30Km (two year) service. Titanium based synthetic and well recommended. Up to 30km the vRS only ever used about 0.6 litre/15Km of the original Penrite oil but now at over 33Km I can't detect any change in… Read more

oil level using the Edge. Is this good or bad? I always understood a car should use a small amount of oil like I got with the Penrite. Regardless I think I'm happy. Performance seems more lively while a recent 200km test in combined conditions, freeway to town in 30C+ with AC running, returned 5.7L/100. Vehicle instrumentation told me AC consumed about 0.4 litres on that trial so the real fuel consumption was about 5.3L/100. Not bad for normal driving and a bit better than with the Penrite.

Great oil for protection – Found this oil to be well above industry standards It has a slightly heavier weight than most 5w30 competitors and stays in grade well over its use Good start up protection Clean synthetic with great hot weather protection and solid total base number TBN to ensure it’s integrity Watch for sales at Repco and Superchesp Very reasonable sub $40… Read more

pricing and once you’ve tried you will be a convert Better suited for multi cam and valve set ups with production years early 2000’s onwards which need oils compatible with catalytic converters and O2 sensors Try it I see it is a worldwide favourite and I trust Castrol engineers !

Used on my bmw 120i – Used different types of oil for my engine Penrite, Mobile etc and by far this oil lasts the longest and makes my engine sing happy. No idea why but this one sustains the longest the other ones that was used don’t last very long and it seems that the engine needs more oil to be happy with other oil brands. Will use this for a lifetime on all my cars. Show details

Amazing oil that I put into my 2016 3.2 litre Ranger – Have owned this car since new and have always run Penrite 5w30 full synthetic oil in it but have always been a little disappointed in the fuel economy. I change the oil & filter every 7000 k and the car has the usual mods, including a remap and 3 inch exhaust. It tares in at 2860 kg so she is heavy. Using the old oil I used to always average 13.8… Read more

litres per 100 kilometres. Now I have gone to this new Castrol A5 oil as it states, it is recommended for rangers and mustangs, my fuel economy is back to 11.2 litres per 100 kilometres. Very happy with those figures.

Good motor oil – Have used for around 7 years or ao in my Subaru liberty 3.0 wagon. I'm convinced it's the only reason the motor still exhibits signs of oil pressure. Changed rigorously between every 5-7000km. Wait for specials and buy the 10 liter containers. Have recently switched to Valvoline but may go back.  Show details

think they just want to mouth off

Castrol as good as any oil ive tryed 5 stars from me

And better than most

Excellent protection qualities for highly stressed race engines – We use Castrol Edge 10 - 60 SYN in our blown alcohol 510 cubic inch circuit race boat. Have only used this oil since converting to the supercharged engine that develops around 1500 hp at 7200rpm (1115 kw). In the past 3 years on annual maintenance engine tear downs there have been no marks or wear on any rotating components, piston/bores or valve… Read more

train components. I highly recommend this product if you want your engines to have the best protection. It isn't the cheapest on the market but competitive if you want the best. Try to buy up when the product goes on sale at your parts store outlets.

Overpriced and mediocre – I obtained my vehicle with the former owner recommending this oil in a 10W60 viscosity. It also had a substantial valvetrain noise that wasn't remedied by adjusting the valves. Imagine my surprise when a competing product in the same grade that was $20 cheaper silenced the rattle, and has continued to this day. I have a friend who swears by… Read more

this oil but I feel it's more marketing than anything. I honestly can't warrant paying a premium price for what is essentially just another full synthetic. Plenty of other products out there that will give a similar result for less money, or a better result for the same money.

Only good as an engine flush – I used this product for 1,000km in a 2008 Toyota Kluger with 10,000km on the clock. The oil was given to me by the Castrol rep and he promised me it was the best. As soon as I started using it in the engine i would get valve train noise on start up every time. Having not experienced the issue when using Mobil 10w/40, I dumped the castrol oil,… Read more

refilled with the trust Mobil and the noise went away. I will never run this rubbish in my engine again.

The synthetic standard – I've been using Castrol Edge Titainium for a number of years in all my cars. I have tried most of the readily available oils from supercheap auto. After a recommendation to try Castrol Edge in my VS SS commodore I was extremely impressed with it's performance. I change every 10,000km and it is clean. I believe it could easily do 15,000km. A… Read more

tip for people wanting to try it but are scared of the high price. "Stock up when there is a sale". Best time of year is around the Bathurst 1000 race.

Castrol Review 11/18/15 lah – I have been coming to Dallas Hwy. Castrol for oil change and referred others to them. I rate them with 5 Star all day long. Technicians are very polite and accurate. The place is clean and comfortable. They are located in a very convenient location. They are the best yet.  Show details

Edge Sport 5W30 SM – Was reasonable oil for the price, although I stopped using it after the price increased 25% when it changed to Titanium Fluid Strength. Did 10K km service intervals no problem. Wasn't great on cold morning starts but I guess it's not a proper synthetic it's only highly refined mineral oil/hydrocracked so you can't expect too much. Moved on to… Read more

Mobil1 5W30 which was better & similar cost to TFS.

Had the opportunity to try Motul 300V 5W30, what can I say but this oil is only a completely different level. If you haven't tried it you must!

Not proper synthetic, overpriced, bad cold start flow

Castrol 5W 50 Edge - Pleasant surpise – First time I used this castrol 5W 50 Edge to my Porsche 996. I used to run on Motul, BP, M1, and Wakos in the past. This time, I really felt the difference in smoothness. I was surprised to really experience this I wasn't even expecting any better than Motul or Mobil 1 I personally like this Castrol Edge and will be using it for my Audi S4 on my next oil change. Smooth running and effortless. Price is also reasonable

Great Oil, but it seems to oxidise and evaporate quicker than Mobil 1 Oil – Castrol Edge Sport 0-40W is used in both my Honda 2.4L IVTEC and Nissan Maxima V6 3.5L. The oil has to be topped up about every 2500kms in my nissan maxima, which was not required previously when I used Mobil 1. In my Honda 2.4L IVTEC it requires slight oil top up every 8-9000kms. Besides this quicker oxidation issue, everything else is great… Read more ·  1

about this oil. It does make both my vehicle go alot faster, quicker, smoother, quieter and definitely saves fuel. Provides smooth, responsive engine, helps saves fuel, vehicles goes faster and quieter too. The oil oxides and evaporates quicker than Mobil 1 oil 0-40W. So u need to check your oil every 2000-8000kms depending on size of vehicle engine.

Top quality oil as good as anything on the market – Have been using Castrol Edge 10W - 60 for a number of years and I have no complaints. Beware of internet fools that post on forums with false and misleading information e.g. wankski. This fool writes rubbish as if talking of the effects for a full on race car doing a 24hr race yet applies this to road car use. Suggesting you use some exotic… Read more

silly oil...ignore this clown.

This same fool drives around on three different type/brand tyres...even a twit knows this is dangerous and not reccomended.

This Castrol oil is great and no one could be dissapointed. Great technical specs matching OE reccommended oil Can be expensive when not on special but as we know good stuff costs more

Best Synthetic used by far! – A high quality Fully Synthetic engine oil I have used. It has lasted longer than the 6000km service interval and will run all the way to 10,000kms without any issue of wear or breakdown. Have found that there is no oil consumption and a cleaner service interval than that of mineral type oils or semi synthetic oils that I have used in tha past. … Read more

Greater fuel economy and faster warm up periods in cold weather, also faster circulation around the engine at start up means less wear than conventional oils. Scoop purchase of 10 bottles at $32 - huge saving over vehicles life. Had two bottles leak from poor bottle manufacture & then subsequent fluff around with exchanging a closed half empty bottle...
