I'm going to attempt to resurrect this thread!
How did everyone find it in their applications, and did anyone continue to use it?
I ask because it seems to still be going strong in stores and has plenty of 30-40% off sales, making it my go to A5 rated oil for my new GDi Accent. I have a few bottles in the garage and Ryco Syntec filters, which I will do myself every 10,000km with one dealership service per year (still with my Edge but OEM filter) for the check over and diagnostic scan etc. and so they are still familiar with my car and myself as a customer.
I'm as surprised as everyone else at the 5w30 being more stout on paper than the 10w30 variant, certainly interesting but I'm sure they have their reasons...
That said it's making me consider switching to the A3 5w30 once the warranty period is over, by which time it will probably have over 200,000km on it, but that's for another 4.5 years of contemplation haha
I will continue the 10w30 Edge for as long as it is available over the next 5 or so years for research purposes, but I would expect excellent results though of course.
I have a decent view of the cam lobe and bucket through my fill hole, so I will be using the condition of those to roughly determine the efficacy of the A5 Edge
