Castrol Brands Toolbox

When it’s time for an oil change, which oil is right for an engine? The answer to that question gets more complex every day. The latest engines are getting smaller and more powerful all the time, and manufacturers are specifying complex full synthetic oils to cope with higher engine pressures and meet fuel efficiency targets.

1
Vehicle requires Advanced Full Synthetic oil with OEM & European Specs
2
Vehicle requires a Full Synthetic oil / Imports
3
Vehicle has 75K+ Miles
4
Vehicle recommends a Conventional oil

Brand Comparison

If your customer is driving a muscle car or a European import, the manufacturer may well specify a full synthetic motor oil. Alternatively if they’re driving an older domestic vehicle, the manufacturer may recommend a conventional oil. However, even though that’s the most economical option, a full synthetic will almost certainly look after your engine better. Knowing what engine oil to use at every oil change is essential.

  • 3x stronger than Mobil 1 against viscosity breakdown*
  • Advanced full synthetic
  • European specs (ACEA)
  • GM dexos1® Gen 2
  • 10X better high temperature performance*
THE PROBLEM

Friction and high operating temperature can waste up to 10% of engine performance

THE PROOF

Castrol edge with fluid titanium technology transforms to be stronger under pressure to reduce friction and resist oil thickening

THE BENEFIT

Unlock maximum performance

*As measured in the Sequence IIIH engine test vs. API SP test limit
  • Perfect for severe driving conditions (heavy traffic, short trips, extreme temps)
  • Full synthetic
  • GM dexos1® Gen 2
THE PROBLEM

Up to 75% of engine wear occurs during warm up

THE PROOF

Engineered with intelligent molecules that cling to protect in high stress driving conditions (short trips, stop-&-go traffic)

THE BENEFIT

Instant protection from the moment you start

  • No oil keeps engines cleaner
  • Synthetic blend at conventional price
  • Meets Ford specs
THE PROBLEM

Environmental factors can cause sludge, varnish and carbon build-up

THE PROOF

GTX Ultraclean with synthetic technology prevents new sludge formation 1.4x better* than the latest industry standard

THE BENEFIT

Superior sludge protection to help extend engine life

*As tested in the Sequence VH sludge test vs. API SP limits

  • Specially designed for engines over 75,000 miles
  • Protects against sludge, wear and burn off
  • Reduces phosphorous to protect your emission system
  • GTX High Mileage is a trade up option for conventional consumers with more than 75K miles on their engine and want the added benefit of emission system protection
  • EDGE High Mileage is a trade up option for consumers who want the performance and protection of EDGE, want the added benefit of emission system protection and/or have the requirement for a GM dexos® specification
THE PROBLEM

All engine oils contain phosphorus – which is known to be a poison to the catalytic converter

THE PROOF

Castrol GTX High Mileage and EDGE High Mileage offer Phosphorus Replacement Technology, a proprietary formula with reduced phosphorus content

THE BENEFIT

Reduced phosphorus without compromising wear protection

*As tested in the Sequence VH sludge test vs. API SP limits
