CASTROL EDGE EURO FOR PORSCHE
European car manufacturers, like Porsche, often create unique motor oil specifications to ensure the lubricant can withstand the intense pressure, heat and friction generated in a high output engine.
To ensure compliance, rigorous engine tests are developed by the vehicle manufacturer, with approval granted only when the oil achieves the minimum values required in each test.
Castrol EDGE Euro Car fluids are formulated to exceed these requirements and deliver maximum protection and performance to Porsche cars.

EDGE 0W-20 LL IV (Porsche C20)
2X better wear protection to reduce friction and optimize performance (based on PV 1481 FSI test data, OM646LA test data)
1.9X better engine cleanliness to help maximize engine performance (CEC L-104 test data)
2.8X better fuel economy to help maintain engine power longer (PV1451 test data)
EDGE EURO 0W-30 LL (Porsche C30)
Over 3X better wear protection to reduce friction and optimize performance (OM646LA test data)
One of the key functions of a motor oil is to prevent metal engines parts from coming in contact with one another. The area between the cam shafts and cam lobes relies on a very thin layer of protection and is the most likely site for metal-to-metal contact to occur. When these surfaces contact each other, the result is wear and fatigue of critical engine parts which can reduce engine performance.
Over 2X better engine cleanliness to help maximize engine performance (PV 1481 test data)
Viscosity breakdown in motor oil can result from the mechanical shear that moving engine parts put on the lubricant. This shear breaks the oil down at the molecular level and reduces the initial viscosity. This reduction in viscosity increases the probability of metal to metal contact and decreases the motor oil’s ability to provide engine protection.
EDGE EURO 0W-40 A3/B4 (Porsche A40)
1.5x better piston cleanliness to help maximize engine performance (EP6CDT test data)
Castrol motor oil protects an engine in many ways, including prevention of the formation of deposits on engine valves and pistons. These deposits often occur as a result of the extreme internal operating temperatures created during the fuel combustion process. Castrol’s high-quality motor oils clean these critical metal surfaces with detergent additives to prevent deposits from forming even under intense operating conditions.
1.5x better viscocity control to help engines run better for longer (DV6 test data)
Viscosity breakdown in motor oil can result from the mechanical shear that moving engine parts put on the lubricant. This shear breaks the oil down at the molecular level and reduces the initial viscosity. This reduction in viscosity increases the probability of metal to metal contact and decreases the motor oil’s ability to provide engine protection.
EDGE EURO 5W-30 K (Porsche C30)

Over 4X better viscosity control to help engines run better for longer (DV6 test data)
Viscosity breakdown in motor oil can result from the mechanical shear that moving engine parts put on the lubricant. This shear breaks the oil down at the molecular level and reduces the initial viscosity. This reduction in viscosity increases the probability of metal to metal contact and decreases the motor oil’s ability to provide engine protection.
EDGE 5W-40 A3/B4 (Porsche A40)
Over 2X better engine cleanliness to help maximize engine performance (DV6 test data)
Castrol motor oil protects an engine in many ways, including prevention of the formation of deposits on engine valves and pistons. These deposits often occur as a result of the extreme internal operating temperatures created during the fuel combustion process. Castrol’s high-quality motor oils clean these critical metal surfaces with detergent additives to prevent deposits from forming even under intense operating conditions.
Over 1.2x better viscosity control to help engines run better for longer (DV6 test data)
Castrol motor oil protects an engine in many ways, including prevention of the formation of deposits on engine valves and pistons. These deposits often occur as a result of the extreme internal operating temperatures created during the fuel combustion process.
