Hi,
mulepacker - Some Castrol Edge products ( 2 x 0W-40 and 1 X 5W-40) were Approved in 2007 or so for Porsche Engines (A40 List). VW derived Porsche engines (C30 List) have had Edge Approval for some years. Check the container for the Listing credentials - Porsche maintains two Approval Lists

Has anyone seen anything other than 20 and 30 wts of Castrol Edge on the shelf? I always see Syntec 10w40, but I can't recall seeing the 0w40 or 5w40. I wanted the QS 5w40 for the longest time and finally gave up the search and returned to Mobil 1 0w40.
Hi,
Torrid - Edge 0W-40 has been available here in OZ for several years now. It sells for around 2/3 the price of M1 0W-40
It's a good product too but M1 0W-40 has a n excellent track record going back over around 15+ years of development - it's worth the extra IMO

The 5w-40 grade still carries Porsche A40 approval, although read Castrol's response to question 10 in this FAQ:

REFORMULATED FOR EVEN BETTER PERFORMANCE: INTRODUCING CASTROL EDGE WITH SYNTEC POWER TECHNOLOGY.
For years, you’ve depended on the power of Castrol SYNTEC to outperform conventional motor oils. Now, we’ve reformulated SYNTEC to outperform even itself:
In extreme tests, Castrol EDGE with SYNTEC Power Technology maintained maximum horsepower 30% longer than Castrol SYNTEC [1]
New, powerful dispersant molecule suspends particles to fight power-robbing deposits [2]
Improved formula continues to keep the engine running at peak power longer [1]
Castrol EDGE with SYNTEC Power Technology performs better than conventional oil in the toughest industry tests
Superior protection against deposits. Corrosive particles such as acid, soot and oxidized fuel fragments can cause costly damage to critical engine parts
Powerful Additive Package that neutralizes corrosive particles, preventing them from grouping together and forming deposits.
Neutralizes acids in your engine that can cause rust and corrosion on vital engine parts such as cylinders, bearings and hydraulic valve lifters
Meets the world's toughest industry gasoline engine protection requirements [3]
Provides Stability & Endurance under extreme conditions (heat, load, speed) that can cause conventional oils to break down
Delivers the ultimate performance under high-temperature conditions: unsurpassed protection against volatility burn-off and viscosity increase
Can be used with confidence in every gasoline engine passenger car, new or old, regardless of oil previously used [4]
Fully compatible with all conventional and synthetic oils
When I asked Castrol your question via the live chat this is what they said:
