Castrol debuts a low viscosity engine oil

Castrol has launched a 0W-20 low-viscosity engine oil: Castrol EDGE 0W-20 LL IV, which has received the latest low-viscosity approvals* from BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Volkswagen. The new product is suitable for use in petrol, diesel, and hybrid vehicles and it is available to consumers and workshops in one-litre, four-litre, and five-litre packs.

Castrol EDGE 0W-20 LL IV has attained three approvals: BMW Longlife-17 FE+, MB-Approval 229.72 (from Mercedes-Benz), and VW 508 00/ 509 00 (from Volkswagen). In addition, the new lubricant is approved for Porsche C20, meets Ford WSS-M2C956-A1 specification, and also fulfills the requirements of OEMs recommending the use of ACEA C5 or ACEA C6 0W-20 oils.

Castrol EDGE 0W-20 LL IV works to reduce friction and increase efficiency.

Ralf Wobben, Brand and Product Specialist at Castrol commented: “Castrol EDGE is our most advanced range of engine oils that can satisfy the most demanding specifications. To be at the forefront of a fast-paced industry is an example of Castrol’s leading work with vehicle manufacturers to engineer engine oils that can unlock performance and increase efficiency. This world-first low-viscosity ‘combi’ 0W-20 lubricant demonstrates how we’re taking the latest technological advances and delivering them in a product that is suitable for numerous applications.” .
