hamster Posted 13 May, 2009 Share Posted 13 May, 2009 Dog, what sort of engine / driving style would this stuff suit please? My nipper races a 318 BMW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog Posted 14 May, 2009 Author Share Posted 14 May, 2009 It is the blood of the BMW 318 and any other super dooper sports/racing/rally car. It is the best oil on the market, and I said PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pancake Posted 14 May, 2009 Share Posted 14 May, 2009 Edge 5w40 is for VW Turbo Diesel engines, no? http://www.castrol.com/castrol/productdetailmin.do?categoryId=9014076&contentId=7027069 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al de Man Posted 14 May, 2009 Share Posted 14 May, 2009 Would have snapped your hand off if it was the 5W-30 version. VW charge £70 for 5l. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Told nipper and he said that he's spent his budget this season but will speak to the team owner (his FIL) this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al de Man Posted 15 May, 2009 Share Posted 15 May, 2009 It is better than the 5W-30 oil Al. It's not so much a case of being "better". The figures refer to viscosity at start-up and when operating so an engine is designed to operate with a particular grade of oil. How well that oil lasts and how clean it keeps the engine are really what makes an oil better. I believe the stuff that VW brand and keep on the shelf for my car is made for them by Castrol anyway.

So your VW tourag requires better oil than a ferrari? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pancake Posted 15 May, 2009 Share Posted 15 May, 2009 (edited) So your VW tourag requires better oil than a ferrari? What? Why do you keep using the term "better", that is a totally non-quantifiable term here. Castrol themselves recommend the 10w60 for an F430 Coupe anyway...

Dog Posted 15 May, 2009 Author Share Posted 15 May, 2009 Look I was just trying to offer someone some cheap oil and all I get is a load of grief. It will be poured down the drain at 5pm should I get no better offers. I will feel alot better when it's gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al de Man Posted 15 May, 2009 Share Posted 15 May, 2009 Look I was just trying to offer someone some cheap oil and all I get is a load of grief. And all I was saying is Castrol Edge 5W-40 is no "better" than Castrol Edge 5W-30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponty Posted 15 May, 2009 Share Posted 15 May, 2009 Not better, different. I've asked a couple of the guys at work but it's not what they use, that's not to say it isn't suitable they just prefer something that gets "thinner" more quickly.
