i wasn't following this thread lately... castrol's marketing startegy is that they are pushing people to consume the sport edge. when you ask them what's the difference between TWS VS edgeVS sport edge they tell you it's the same.

in fact it's not there is a difference in viscosity. surprisingly they don't share these technical sheets with people like us to prove their point.

anyway guys, i agree with all of u about using TWS on our engines, people who says its running out of the market, when they need the oil, contact me and ill get it for you, i have my resources and i can get as many litres as you want.

Different 10W-60 Castrol Oils

Guys!

Apparently there are three 10W-60 oils available from Castrol.

1) TWS 10W-60
2) Edge 10W-60
3) Edge Sport 10W-60

Does any one know the differences between the 3.

Apparently only TWS is approved by BMW for ///M Engines.

Castrol says that Edge is also approved by BMW for ///M Engines. Needs confirmation from BMW.

The most surprising thing is that Edge Sport is not approved for the BMW ///M Engines. Needs confirmation from BMW.

i was the same! but the best thing that im still find it :rofl: and i think they announced that its discontinued to sell the alternative more and i belive neither edge 10w-60 or edge sport 10w-60 are successor of TWS 10W-60

Thanks Bruno!

Here is what I found on the product specifications.

Here is Edge 10W-60.



Here is Edge Sport 10W-60.



From what I can gather they both have different specifications:

Edge: API SJ/CF
Edge Sport: API SM/CF and ACEA A3/B3, A3/B4.

In addition, the Density and Viscosity ratings are different. Edge scores higher on both tests.

I would leave it for the experts to analyse it further.

Even within Castrol ME, there are clashing opinions regarding TWS and EDGE compatibility for the S motors. I wouldn't deviate from using what M Gmbh designed the engines to run with, that is TWS. Period. TWS is available for 20 years to come...

I just changed (01st October 2010) my car oil and i used the TWS but in 1 ltr bottles available in SHJ at approx AED48/- per liter so i had to get 9 as 8 goes in the engine and one to keep for top up after 1200miles.
