Castrol Edge vs. Pennzoil Platinum

[Shagger]

There are a few deals out there with Edge and PP. The cost is pretty close between the two oils. Does anyone have any advice on the quality of these two worthies? I will be using them on a 7500 mile OCI with a PureOne filter.

edge is good out to 15k

If you're running 7500, PP does the job. Since the cost is roughly the same. Just pick one?

 

[Rand]

the cost isnt the same.

walmart after rebate PP = 1$/qt (20$-15 rebate)

walmart after rebate Edge= 3.20/qt (26$-10 rebate)


or did I miss a deal on castrol edge somewhere?

I just got my max limit of PP, I may go back for some edge
before that rebate ends.

Which is the better oil is what I look at.Not the deals or sales.

Based on all the positive comments here I'd stick with PP. Edge is still to new a product, costs more (at least everywhere I shop), and I don't like Castrol products. So for me it's a pretty easy choice. JMO

PP 5qt. jug, $20 @ Wally World with a $15.00 rebate.

7500 mi OCI, easy for PP with a Pure One. Why pay more?

JMO

cost is not the same. advance auto coupon online $10 off $25 .
pp is on sale for $4.99 each quart.total comes to $15.85 for five with coupon
$15 pp rebate means total for 5 quarts is $1.28 with postage . you heard that right .$1.28 for 5 quarts!!!!
limit one per "household"

The Pennzoil deal really can't be beat at the moment. And its been proven to be solid well past 7,500mi in many applications.

I guess I will be the odd one out here. I would buy both, and be more happy with the Castrol Edge deal. I ran one 12,000 OCI on my Accord with the Edge, and had zero problems. I have never had any oil sent off for analysis, so I can't say this is a better oil (either one) however I still really like the Castrol Edge... If Castrol would do away with the dipstick commercials, lower the price just a bit more to $23 a 5 quart jug it would really be in line with the price of other oils.

I say buy both, stick one back, compare the two if you like... enjoy. I vote goes to Castrol if only buying one.

I don't have any experience with PP But I sure as [censored] do with Edge 5W30 VS some *other* high rated Syn and what I can tell you so far is EDGE. Try to find some bad info on Edge...I haven't really found any.

I got both PP and Edge because of the sales/rebates. Ive used PP several times before but the Edge is new to me. Edge claims to be a long OCI oil while PP does not. My own speculation is that Edge may be a bit more "synthetic" than PP. Not that it really matters. Im still going to run both oils for 10,000 miles. I do for all synthetics. My advice is, get them both because they are both on sale/rebate.

well we all know Edge is 8X better than Mobil 1, so maybe one of us should contact Castrol and find out how many times better than PP it is

don't get me wrong I am sure it is a good oil especially with the rebate, but the holy grail of oils it is not and not worth the regular purchase price imho

Is there such a thing as the "holy grail of oils" that a consumer can afford?

PP

 

[Dupree]

no but when edge came out it was touted and priced as such

Is Edge a group IV oil and Syntec is their less expensive group III, or what? Mobil 1 is group IV. Why do people pay more for Edge?

 

[Ram01]

Castrol may have the edge over pennzoil
