The ads prompt that Castrol Edge provides 8 times better protection wear than Mobil 1. I use Mobil 1 lol. So I was wondering if Castrol Edge is legit, they sure have charts and scientific proof that it's better than Mobil 1, I wanna know what the 6gc members think though. Thanks guys!

a more appropiate way to approach this is, how confortable do you feel about changing your oil at 10,000 miles ?
if you are a conservative who doesn't feel confortable past the 3,000 miles interval, then paying the extra money for castrol edge is not worthy. In reality, paying for ANY syntechtic oil and replacing it after 3,000 miles is a waste of money, but I do just that lol. for turbo cars people will always recommend syntechtic oils for the plain fact that they can withstand higher temperatures before they stop protecting your engine, but syntechtic or not, if your engine is getting that hot, sooner or later the damage will be done, so the true advantage of using syntechtic is that it'll last longer so the oil replacing internals can be extended, but is a perssonal choice as to replace it at 3000 or not, from what I've seen most people who use syntechtic replace their oil around 3-4 K miles anyways and I'm guilty of that as well. -------------------- ![]() |
