WHAT IS BETTER? EDGE with TITANIUM 0r Mobile 1?

Cheaper one
Both use hydrowax/hydrocracked base stocks, and they make no claim otherwise. Flip a coin. Higher TBN, better additives, or certifications may lead you to what's "best".

Good points, then check the UOA section and look for your engine using Edge vs. Mobil 1. Hopefully you'll find some, then run a few of your own. Honestly establishing what's best for your engine is going to take a while, and what you will most likely discover is there is no best.
Honestly, I'd make it easy, and go for the oil with the best price. At least going that route you'll save money over the life of the car since you'll probably never notice a difference in engine life. JMO

It is Mobil 1, not Mobile, AL, 1......
I think either would be fine though.... Pick one and use it regularly.

From the few UOA on the ecoboost that are out there, the Edge did better than the M1. Better TBN and rentention and lower wear metals. However, M1 is still a good choice. I'd run the Edge over M1 in my ecoboost due to the Edge leaving the least amount of deposits on the TEOST which is important on DI engines.
This is such a difficult question to answer because you want us to compare multiple brands AND multiple weights at the same time.
IIRC most EcoBoost motors need 5w20?

wow, this will never end huh?
Castrol has better deposit control, which would be desirable in a direction injection engine.

I was very pleased with the Edge Ti I recently ran as well as the UOA, it stayed in grade very well and ran very, very quiet. I've not run Mobil 1 since SM was out but their EP products are interesting.
Mobil 1 High Mileage since it has more Zinc and Phosphorus ~ 20% more. Mobil 1 HM is one of the most robust oils in their line up. They even have it in the 5W-20 weight.
Partly depends on what benefits the titanium offers!
If there really is titanium in the blend, or if it is just marketing because it sounds good.

Castrol and their handle on deposit formation is likely better in a DI engine. Whether its better than Mobil its really hard to say. I don't like Mobil as a whole but if the price is right I'll buy and use it. I don't have any dislike f castrol and would use them first if all things were equal.
