how does this compare to castrol edge "professional" sold as oem oil at the dealerships?

The castrol edge professional was formulated for specific brands. I believe maybe VW and a few others. Castrol has been juggling names. They used to have sytec and edge. Sytec was renamed syntec with edge technology and edge was renamed edge titanium. Still black bottle and gold bottle. I have used edge and edge titanium on my Toyota Tacoma since new. My compressions are perfect, gas mileage like new and I have well over 100k miles. I change oil every 5k even though it's a 15k mile oil. I also use prolong on every oil change. I think the edge titanium is the best oil on the market. Oil is just cheap insurance for a long lasting engine.

More information needed to respond correctly but, Castrol EDGE with SYNTEC neutralizes acids in your engine that can cause rust and corrosion on vital engine parts such as cylinders, bearings and hydraulic valve lifters as well as providing stability and endurance under extreme conditions (heat, load, speed) that can cause conventional oils to break down. Best of all, EDGE can be used with confidence in every gasoline-engine passenger car, new or old, regardless of oil previously used

Google this. There is more info there than you need. Looks like there is quite a difference internally. Look for Bob the Oil Guy, he has them cut open.

No it is not, it looks like the new Edge is designed for gasoline engines, not diesel. Also I could not find the weight of the oil on the box. The 5w-40 weight is what is recommended by VW people. Good Luck, Stan

The oil i bought online did not smell like the oil i bought from salons in the past. I don't think it was the real thing, so i got a refund and threw it out. i guess you have to be careful buying it online. My seller was SAI Holdings.

You shouldn't run anything but synthetic in your turbo model. 5w-40 is perfect. exactly what the dealer uses. you will gunk up the engine if you use conventional oil.

I'm not familiar with the other one but I love the mishimoto. I noticed a good drop in oil Temps even on hot days. Did exactly what I needed it to do!

It is a 100% full synthetic oil. Most car manufactures will tell you 10k miles on oil like this, but some might say fewer. You should check with the manufacturer. Our go to the website www.motul.com/us/en-US/products/recommendation to find out.

the xg8000E has a full automotive type oil filter, I do believe its a modern full pressure system.Have you reached out to Generac for clarification?

Hello,We were recently funded by Castrol and our service should be running for the foreseeable future. As with any company that goes out of business, the service would be interrupted. Hope this answers your question.Thanks, Zubie Crew

It is what I order for mine and have been using for about the past 4 self-performed oil changes. From all I have been able to find out this equals the filter the dealer would use if you take your car in to them for an oil change.

I have used it now for 6k miles and have found a reduced degree of oil burn. I change my oil every 6K and because of the excellent results I have seen on my 98 FORD XLT EXPEDITION 62K miles I will skip a treatment this change but plan on using this product on the next change. A lot cheaper than dropping an engine.The product says 30k but I always err on the side of caution.

You may be right. All I have used is the same oil. It was so cheap I will keep using it.

Yes I want to know this too, please. Been advised never to buy YL oils from Amazon or other source other than YL direct because they've been tampered with in some way or another. This is a great price and I'm tempted anyway! Comments?

What about just buying rosewater? I bought NOW rosewater concentrate, not pure oil, much milder and cheaper.
