Longevity – Long Lasting Oil
When Castrol EDGE is in your engine, it stays in prime condition for longer, this is how Castrol EDGE stretches to go the distance for your machine, protecting engine life.
How was Castrol EDGE proven to provide unsurpassed engine protection?

We tested Castrol EDGE in the industry standard Sequence IVA wear test, which was conducted at an independent third party testing facility. The results of the test proved no leading synthetic motor oil, not even Mobil 1, can provide better engine wear protection than Castrol EDGE.

How is Castrol EDGE different than Castrol SYNTEC?

Castrol EDGE is a completely different formulation than Castrol SYNTEC, which is comprised of a different mix of base oils. Castrol EDGE meets more specifications than Castrol SYNTEC, including GM 4781M and provides guaranteed engine protection for up to 24,000kms or one year, whichever comes first.

What makes Castrol EDGE an “advanced” synthetic?

Unlike regular oils such as Mobil 1 and Castrol SYNTEC, Castrol EDGE offers extended drain interval protection. It also provides an unsurpassed engine wear protection and meets the worlds toughest industry-performance standards. Because Castrol EDGE provides this combination of benefits, we call EDGE an “advanced synthetic”


Sequence IVA Test

The Sequence IVA test shows how well a motor oil protects the cam shaft and the rocker against wear in everyday situations. This is done by revving an engine at 800 RPM for 50 minutes, and then increasing the RMP to 1500 for 10 minutes – repeated every hour. After 25 hours, the engine is measured tor signs of wear and the process is repeated for a total for 100 hours. Castrol EDGE provided 8x better wear protection then Mobile 1.
Engine Oil F.A.Q.

Synthetic Motor Oils: Myths vs. Facts
Looking for the real story on synthetics? Wondering what's true and what's not? These are some misconceptions about synthetics, and facts to set the record straight:
  • MYTH: Once I use synthetic motor oil in my car, I cannot switch back to conventional motor oil.
  • FACT: Synthetic motor oils are compatible with conventional and part synthetic (blend) motor oils. However, synthetics deliver superior engine protection versus conventional oils.
  • MYTH: Using synthetic motor oil will void my vehicle’s warranty.
  • FACT: Using synthetic motor oil will not void your vehicle’s warranty. Synthetics are formulated to not only meet minimum required industry standards, but also, in many cases, meet tougher industry and vehicle manufacturer standards.
  • MYTH: Synthetic oil is only for new cars.
  • FACT: Quality synthetic motor oil can be used in old as well as new cars, including vehicles in which conventional oil was previously used. Synthetic motor oils are beneficial for the good health, long life and top performance of new and old cars.
  • MYTH: You need to allow a break-in period for new vehicles before using synthetic motor oil.
  • FACT: In the past, it was recommended that conventional motor oil be used for your first oil change to allow for some controlled wear to break-in the new engine. However, with current engine technology, a break-in period is not necessary. You can use synthetics immediately.

* Tested in Sequence IVA wear test.
** Guarantee excludes severe service applications such as frequent towing and hauling, racing, dirty conditions, and extreme idling. If your vehicle is covered by a warranty, follow your car manufacturer's recommended oil change/service intervals, which can be found in your owners manual.
