How is Titanium Better than Castrol EDGE?

[LaszloToth]

And would it be better for the track? I'm running 5w30.

All EDGE products now contains Ti. Black and Gold bottles.

Do we know if the gold bottle contains MORE titanium than the less expensive black bottle?

Good question.

Depends which bottle looks cooler to you.

I wouldn't run 5W30 anything in your application unless it has an HTHS of 3.5 or higher, not matter what additives are in it. Did you switch from 5W50 to 5W30?

Sweet car Las. I miss my '02 WRX wagon. I agree with bluesubie...

For me, it would be (Belgian) Castrol Edge 0w30 or (German) Castrol Edge 0w40.

Brutal...5w30 for track use...and with a turbo.. I am hesitate to use it even for spirited street driving on a hot day with an NA engine.

Switch that oil out and get something with an HTHS of 3.5 of higher like a few people have mentioned.

Anything with ACEA A3/B4 spec on the label.

From what castrol has told me. The U.S. Castrol I was emailing said they cannot speak of castrol products sold outside of the U.S. Which is the gold bottle featuring fst pictured above. They did however say the edge extended performance has higher titanium then the regular black edge bottle.

My fave at the present time is edge 5W30 A3/B4.

 

[aquariuscsm]

I'd run Edge 5W50 for your track days if you're an Edge fan. But,I wonder if the "Classic Car" formula 5W50 was a better oil than the "Titanium" formula? Wonder if the zddp level got lowered since they no longer market it towards "classic cars"?

Congratulations! You have just obtained more information from Castrol regarding their oil than they have ever given anyone on the planet. Nice work.

I like Castrol oil but they sure play games with information.

 

[Gearhead1194]

Congratulations on being [censored]. I was simply stating a fact that wasn't stated in this thread yet. Sorry for trying to help. Won't ever happen again

I think KCJEEP was joking. I wouldn't be talking like that to other members either; that's just asking to go on a long vacation btw

 

[Gearhead1194]

Well it's quite hard to tell when someone is joking or not when your on an electronic device. Doesn't exactly show emotion in anyway or anything. Didn't mean to be an a** about it but it just bothered me that I was stating a fact that I knew and was told that was specified in this thread so I wasn't sure the OP was aware of this or not.

I believe he's serious with his congratulations, castrol is indeed not very forthcoming with info. He wasn't being sarcastic
