I consistently run a WIX filter and Schaeffer's 15w40 synthetic blend oil. Is "edge" a brand name?

[BoostJunki3]

castrol edge.....youve never seen the dipstick commercial have you lol

[BoostJunki3]

also noticed this during the change....i wonder if YT purposely put it there so you can see it

[99prixgt]

i hate that commercial, i would never buy it just because of the commercial.

I see the same thing when i remove my oil cap

Its basically "improved" synthetic. Honeslty just buy Syntec when its on sale unless you wanna go for amsoil. 01GTP sells it on here for cheap.

[TheOtherNick]

Don't think with your dipstick think with your brain. I am sure it is good stuff for the price. You can't beat Amsoil tho IMO.

i run mobil one or whatevers on sale for the 1 gallon jug.

I run Mobil 1 because I have a brand loyalty to them, I like the smell and I'm a little cheap for Amsoil. As long as you stuck with the same weight and stay away from the cheap Fram filters I doubt you will notice much of a difference as it seems like a high quality synthetic.

On a somewhat off topic note, I stick with BP gas (and they own Castrol) because even though they are one of the worst polluters they seem serious about finding energy alternative to dino oil. BP Invests $3 Billion in Alternative Energy Globally (Update1) - Bloomberg.com

Some might disagree with me, but my opinion is that I would sooner pour straight tap water into my crankcase than anything made by Castrol. Call me crazy, but that's just what I think. I had a brief (read 3 miles) experience with Castrol in a freshly rebuilt engine and I swore to never use another one of their products again. Near zero oil pressure didn't make me feel warm and fuzzy with near 3 grand dumped into an engine.

And I've heard bad things about every company cept amsoil.

Guess I've gotta keep looking and I'll find it.

That is a deal, I would be on that like stink on a wet dog! I’m running regular Syntec atm, seems like great stuff. The Edge is the same oil, just more goodies in it for high mileage engines. When I leave work in the morning the temp should be right at about 0F, I’ll let you know if my car blows up.
