CASTROL EDGE 5W-20

Description

Description

Advances in engine technology have led to increased power and efficiency, meaning engines work harder, under more intense pressure and higher temperatures than ever before with longer drain intervals being recommended by vehicle manufacturers. These demanding conditions require the motor oil to be stronger and more resistant to thermal and viscosity breakdown to maintain protection and deliver maximum engine performance.
Castrol EDGE has been engineered to withstand the extreme friction of modern engines and provides 10X better high stress performance than the latest industry standard. Peak engine loads and high operating temperature can break down weaker lubricants, so viscosity control is the ultimate measure of strength for any motor oil. Castrol EDGE has been proven 3X stronger against breakdown than the leading full synthetic, so its shear stable and maintains its initial viscosity over an extended drain cycle of up to 20,000 miles.

Application

Castrol EDGE 5W-20 is intended for use in automotive gasoline and diesel engines where the manufacturer recommends an API SQ, ILSAC GF-7 or earlier specification 5W-20 lubricant.
See “Performance Claims” for the full list of approved specifications.
