Engine Oil

Ok, hopefully this will be short and sweet.


Can someone upload a picture of the Castrol Edge 10w-60 that we use for our cars, and that I can get from amazon?


Last year, I used the BMW M motor oil. This year, I want to use the same "Edge" that Aston uses.


I've seen so many which has caused a bit of confusion.


Thanks in advance.

lol yet another rebranding, too funny... as far as consumers are concerned, the Edge line is all the same.

According to the Castrol website, the above is suitable for use in a V8S.

I have yet to find a retail source, however!

It's almost entirely marketing. Seriously. At one point the only difference between Edge Titanium and Edge Titanium Professional was that the Pro version had a lower carbon footprint.

I'm apt to believe you. Sounds to me I can simply head over to the BMW dealer and grab what they use for the M Cars.

I've read through so many oil specs that my brain went to sludge. The takeaway? Most people over-stress it. Sticking to the factory brand doesn't mean you're getting the best oil.

If you want to play it safe, stick with OEM/factory fill. Castrol Edge TWS, Edge Sport, Edge Professional, Edge Titanium, Edge Titanium Professional, Edge Titanium Supercar...... take your pick.

If you want to go the BMW route, Castrol Edge, Edge Sport, Edge Professional, or Shell TwinPower Turbo.

If you want to expand your options, get a high-quality 10w60 fully-synthetic oil with an API SN rating.
