Description

Castrol EDGE 0W-30 is a fully synthetic, mid-SAPS oil in the EDGE range for petrol and diesel car engines with exhaust after-treatment, including those with a particulate filter. A single oil covers the requirements of two ACEA categories.

It is rated API SQ and ACEA C2 and C3, and holds official BMW Longlife-04, BMW Longlife-19 FE, MB 226.5, MB 229.31, MB 229.51, Opel OV0401547-D30, Opel OV0401547-G30, Renault RN0700 and Renault RN0710 approvals.

Typical figures: 12.3 mm²/s at 100 °C, 68 mm²/s at 40 °C, viscosity index 182, sulphated ash 0.8 %, pour point -45 °C.

Application

Petrol and diesel cars with exhaust after-treatment that call for ACEA C2 or C3, BMW Longlife-04, Longlife-19 FE, or MB 229.31 or 229.51.

Worth knowing

Of the three EDGE oils in the 0W-30 grade, only this one has ACEA C classes: sulphated ash 0.8 % against 1.13 % in EDGE 0W-30 A3/B4 and 1.1 % in EDGE 0W-30 A5/B5. It shares only Renault RN0700 and RN0710 with A3/B4, and the BMW approvals differ: Longlife-04 and Longlife-19 FE here, Longlife-01 in Castrol EDGE 0W-30 A3/B4. MB 226.5, MB 229.31, MB 229.51 and both Opel numbers, OV0401547-D30 and OV0401547-G30, appear only in this one of the three.

According to the overview of BMW approvals, Longlife-04 is required for diesels with a diesel particulate filter and petrol engines with a petrol particulate filter, while Longlife-19 FE describes a 0W-30 oil mainly for diesels. BMW permits each of these approvals only for certain engines, so the number in the service book of your particular car matters more than the name EDGE 0W-30 on the can.
