All edge variants except 25W50 are listed as fully synthetic. How is edge 5W30 high quality while 10W60 is lower quality. I wouldn't get to hung up on the 15W40 the manual recomends, both edge 0W40 and 10W60 are approved for use by FPV so while it may only say 15W40 in the book there are effectivly several different weights that are recomended.

Posted 16/07/06 05:53 AM Share Posted 16/07/06 05:53 AM (edited) Im running Castrol Edge 10w-60 in ma Turb, and my bro is also running this oil in his 11psi Supercharger.The castrol edge 10w 60, is regarded as ONE of the best oils in the world. Most of the ppl from the streetcomodores forum also use this oil as they say "Every drop of this oil is well worth the $$$$$".I personally would like to try out Royal Purple in the near future as theres loads of POSTIVIE FEEDBACKS from ppl that have tried it out!!!San.
