This stuff says "Full Synthetic" on the jug. How different is this oil than 0W20 Edge? Different additive package? Same base oil?
Don't start with this "full synthetic" balogna
Maggy didn't use - in the past - the DP with Ti compound.
I dont know now.
Doing a UOA on 5W20 should have results in a couple weeks

I saw Edge EP 10w30 for only $18 last night. That's pretty cheap...a lot of deals on oil right now and Wally's will price match btw. I found that out during a online chat session..if you have a link to the same identical product they'll match it.

It has the "magnetic molecules"!
It does seem to work really well on the 4.6 in my sig, but it was also only $1/quart when I bought it, I haven't sprung for the big $ Edge or Gold versions.

People make fun of this oil for having magnetic particles, but in -30F temps last winter it was by far the quietest oil in the sump if that matters. Quieter than M1, QSUD, PP, Ultra, at least in a 2017 Mitsubishi 4B11 engine.

The oil does not have "magnetic particles" in it however.

Its a good oil, its also crafty marketing. It has people thinking its somehow magnetic and sticks to the engine parts. It does not have magnetic particles. To have magnetic particles, they would be ferrous. I have not seen iron as an ad-pack.

Any magnetic particles would be filtered out quickly.
Not before they find the highest friction spots and glue themselves there as sacrificial lambs to protect the engine. This oil is like battle armor for your engine internals.
LOL!

I didn't read his post as him saying he believes there to be magnetic particles, only mentioning how people poke fun of Castrol's marketing language.
But maybe I read it wrong...

Yeah.. it just wasn't black and white clear to me so that's why I offered my take fwiw. I just hate to see him get roasted when it's not entirely clear, to me at least, what he meant. Either way I think we all can agree that there are no "magnetic" particles....
