First time I've seen this product that replaces the EDGE 5W-40 SN. Specs look great; much lower viscosity than the old product and includes all the manufacturer approvals that the OzB favourite EDGE 5W-30 A3/B4 meets and more.

  • ACEA A3/B3, A3/B4
  • API SN/CF
  • BMW Longlife-01
  • MB-Approval 226.5/ 229.3/ 229.5
  • Porsche A40
  • Renault RN0700 / RN0710
  • VW 502 00/ 505 00

Compared to the 5W-30 which is on the heavier end of the 30 weights, this is only slightly higher viscosity being on the lighter end of the 40 weights so I reckon it's a good alternative. Great deal for 6L when 5L of 5W-30 is going for $36 at the moment.

    I use this normally,
    Could anyone tell me if it’s compatible?
    I need to do a service too
    I drive a Mercedes (2002)

      • Kawaii on 09/10/2020 - 12:26

        It recommends me 0w40
        Or 5w30

        But I normally use 5w40

        • Junk Sifter on 09/10/2020 - 12:36

          Which weight does your car's manual specify, and which MB spec? Since you've been using the Penrite then I assume it's either MB 229.3 or MB 229.5, which this also meets so yes it is compatible.

          • Kawaii on 09/10/2020 - 12:51

            This is the recommendation when I entered my vehicle details

              @Kawaii: The most definitive way to confirm is to check the MB specs required for your engine and use an oil that meets that.

              Saying you drive a 2002 Mercedes is meaningless given the range of vehicles they made.

    I use the older edge 5W-30. Can I mix them if I have a couple of litres of the older one?

  • Supercool on 09/10/2020 - 11:52

    Yeah but I have 4 bottles of the old stuff in the garage ;(

    • Calvin27 on 09/10/2020 - 12:33

      I've got 3.5 bottles. Got them for $27 a pop years ago, was about 10 bottles. I just bought them and didn't think about what it really meant in terms of how long it would last lol.

  • placard on 09/10/2020 - 12:34

    Can you use 5w-40 in place of 5w-30? I normally use the 5w-30 Castrol Edge for a Toyota Aurion.

    If I've got some left of the 5w-30 can I mix it with this one?

    Which is better quality oil as they seem different blends.

    • Junk Sifter on 09/10/2020 - 12:51
      +1

      This stuff only has a slightly higher viscosity than the 5W-30 so it's a good alternative.

      It's full synthetic, as long as it meets your vehicle's manufacturer specifications and you change your oil according to the recommended service intervals the quality is moot.

  • Andoni18 on 09/10/2020 - 13:55

    @junk Sifter is this oil DIESEL compatible known as DFP compatible to run in an BMW X5 ? Tks

    • damion on 09/10/2020 - 14:36

      No, it's not according to label on the back

    • Junk Sifter on 09/10/2020 - 14:45

      No. For DPF it would require low or mid SAPS oil, maybe something certified ACEA Cx not ACEA Ax/Bx. Look in your car's manual for BMW's specifications.

  • nascar77 on 19/10/2020 - 23:00

    you need BMW LL-04 spec oil, u can get valvoline MST 5W-40 for 39$ from repco and then send ur receipt to valvoline to get 20$ back for 19$ its great. only issue its 5 litre so might need to buy more than one but u still get 20$ back.
