I switched to Castrol Edge last last week. A lot more expensive but seems very very smooth  My milegae isn;t that high so the service intervals are quite long - so I wanted a longer lasting oil. |

We don't have the "Edge" version here in the States. Is this a semi- synthetic oil, or a conventional oil? How often do you change it? |

As I mentioned "Edge" brand is not available here, and Castrol does not sell a fully synthetic oil in the States either. This is a fairly new development. Do you mind if I take your link to some of the other boards and ask a few questions? |

Bruce, what is SYNTEC? Its full synthetic? Unless you know something I don't........
I only use Mobil 1 in my benz. I "heard" (from a reliable source) that cars in CART and whatnot have mobil 1 in them regardless of their sponsor. Just regular people don't know this and its not publicized of course. And if thats true, that speaks volumes!!! |

The last information I had was that Syntec was a conventional, synthetic blend. The API (American Petroleum Institute.) and the oil companies had a major go around about this a few years back and because the oil companies control the funds to the Institute, the Institute folded and agreed that a blend if over 50% synthetic could be called synthetic even though it's a blend..... There's a surprise ...... Anyway some of the fully synthetic oils that I am aware of are: Mobil 1, Amsoil, and RedLine. There are more, I'm sure of that, but the only major player is Mobil 1.
By the way, Welcome aboard Silverslk....  |
