Description

Castrol EDGE 0W-20 C5 is a fully synthetic, low-viscosity oil in the EDGE range for petrol and diesel car engines. Its mid-SAPS formulation is compatible with particulate filters, and the 0W-20 grade is aimed at saving fuel.

It is rated ACEA C5 and C6, API SQ and ILSAC GF-7, and holds official GM dexos1 Gen 3, JLR STJLR.03.5006, MB 229.71 and Opel OV0401547-A20 approvals. It meets the requirements of Chrysler MS-6395, Fiat 9.55535-CR1, Fiat 9.55535-GSX, Ford WSS-M2C947-A, Ford WSS-M2C947-B1 and Ford WSS-M2C962-A1 without formal approval.

Typical figures: 8.2 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 166, sulphated ash 0.78 %, pour point -42 °C.

Application

Current petrol and diesel cars, including small turbocharged engines, where the manufacturer calls for ACEA C5 or C6, or for a 0W-20 oil with dexos1 Gen 3 or MB 229.71 approval.

Worth knowing

The three Ford codes in this list, WSS-M2C947-A, WSS-M2C947-B1 and WSS-M2C962-A1, belong to the series that Ford issues for 0W-20 in cars for the North American market. European Ford engines have their own numbers, and a code from one series does not replace a code from the other, even when the model is sold under the same name in Europe and America. Next to these codes it says “meets”, so this is Castrol’s own statement and not a Ford approval; the article on reading Ford WSS-M2C codes explains how to break down the number and its suffix.

It has little in common with Castrol EDGE 0W-20 LL IV: the same ACEA classes C5 and C6 and the MB 229.71 approval, so where a 0W-20 with exactly MB 229.71 is specified, either can will do. GM dexos1 Gen 3, JLR STJLR.03.5006 and Opel OV0401547-A20 belong only to this oil, while VW 508.00, VW 509.00, BMW Longlife-17 FE+, MB 229.72 and Porsche C20 belong only to LL IV.
