PRODUCTS & INNOVATIONS
Castrol has launched Castrol EDGE Euro 0W-20 M, a next-generation 0W-20 low-viscosity engine oil, the first lubricant of its kind to secure the latest low-viscosity approvals from BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, and Volkswagen/Audi. The product is suitable for use in petrol, diesel, and hybrid vehicles. Castrol EDGE Euro 0W-20 M has attained three formal approvals widely: BMW Longlife-17 FE+, MB-Approval 229.72 (from Mercedes-Benz), and VW 508 00/ 509 00 (from Volkswagen/Audi). In addition, the new lubricant is approved for Porsche C20, meets Ford WSS-M2C956-A1 specification, and also meets the requirements of OEMs recommending ACEA C5 or C6 0W-20 oils.
Rigorously tested, Castrol EDGE Euro 0W-20 M works to reduce friction, increase efficiency, and reduce harmful emissions. Its low-viscosity formulation minimizes the energy required to move it through an engine’s internal components. Low-Speed Pre-Ignition (LSPI) events can occur when smaller turbocharged engines are subjected to high loads at low engine speeds. The fuel-air mixture can ignite prematurely, causing excessive cylinder pressure, increased engine noise, and, in extreme cases, catastrophic engine damage. Castrol EDGE Euro 0W-20 M passes all LSPI testing requirements to significantly reduce the risk of such events occurring.
“Castrol EDGE is our most advanced range of engine oils that can meet the most demanding specifications. Being at the forefront of a fast-paced industry exemplifies Castrol’s work with vehicle manufacturers to engineer engine oils that 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,” said Kamila Magdziarz, Brand and Product Manager at Castrol. .
