IMHO none of Castrol's products are "bad"... Edge, which was previously known as Castrol RS is specifyed by BMW for their M series engines... At the end of the day it would depend on your engine specs & usage as to which product in the castrol range would best suit your requirments, as it happens, we used to use RS/Edge in our Rally Cars & it was more than capable of dealing with the enviroment it was in.

The edge product has many variations/weights to I'ts name, so you would need to be a bit more specific about the exact product you were thinking of using & the enviorment/application you are going to use it in.

I'm using Edge, as PV says its based on RS (though improved) and is good stuff.

Good price at Halfrauds if you have a trade card!
