STOCK CLEARANCE!

[oilman]

Hi all

Just a quick heads up from Opie Oils here...

With Castrol updating the label design across their range of "Edge" products, we have been left with some old labelled Castrol Edge 5w-40 FST fully synthetic oil in 1 litre bottles that is in need of a home - this label change has been brought in so recently, that some retailers are still selling what we class as "old label" as current stock. However at Opies, we like to keep our stock up to date and current, so we will be selling our remaining stock of this fantastic product at the super low price of £9.77 (with 10% forum discount applied)



There is only limited stock of this available, so get your orders in quick - once it's gone, it's gone! You can find it HERE.

If you need a quick top up before setting off on a long drive, then this 1 litre offer is perfect for you - it's worth having the peace of mind that your oil levels are where they need to be before hitting the motorway. It's also good to know that you've got a top of the range, fully synthetic 5w-40 in there that adapts to your engines every need, even under the most severe pressures - another bonus of using Castrol Edge.

Those of you familiar with this product will already know its value, for those of you that are not, below is a bit of information regarding its merits -

To make you aware, this product has a slightly different formula to the new "Castrol Edge Titanium 5w-40 FST" but still meets or exceeds the following specifications:

- API SN/CF
- ACEA A3/B3, ACEA A3/B4, ACEA C3
- BMW Longlife-04
- GM dexos2
- MB-Approval 229.31
- MB-Approval 229.51
- Renault RN0710 / Renault RN0700
- Porsche A40
- Meets Fiat 9.355535-S2
- VW 502 00 / VW 505 00

Edge 5W-40 is a synthetic technology lubricant suitable for use in petrol and diesel engines where the manufacturer recommends API SM/CF, ACEA A3/B4, ACEA A3/B3, ACEA C3 or earlier specifications. It is formulated to be compatible with modern exhaust after treatment devices and 3 way catalysts and is approved by a wide range of vehicle manufaturers.

This features what Castrol call "Fluid Strength Technology" - A dynamic system that actively strengthens the oil, and responds to the level of protection that your engine requires.

Hi

The GL4/GL5 thing that seems to be getting more and more well known is based on out of date information. Back in the 1970s, when GL5 oils were first introduced, it was very quickly realised that the additives attacked yellow metals. That was no good to the oil manufacturer or user, so the additive pack was soon changed (by reputable oil companies) so that they use the same additives as in a GL4 oil, but in a higher concentration. That means that GL5 oils from reputable companies will not attack brass synchros. I don't know if that is the case with oils from companies that we don't deal with though.

There are certain GL5 oils that are better as diff oils as they are too slippery for synchros, but they are not attacking the brass.
