Product Description and Technical Details
Castrol Edge TD 5w-40 is an advanced, fully synthetic engine oil for both diesel and petrol cars.
Is Castrol Edge TD for diesel engines only?
No, Castrol Edge TD is suitable for petrol and diesel cars.
Whilst the TD in the names stands for "Turbo Diesel", it's a rather unfortunate name because Castrol Edge TD also carries the ACEA A3 specification for petrol engines - so there's no problem using it as an upgrade for petrol cars using Castrol Magnatec 10W-40, and any petrol car wanting a high spec / performance synthetic 5W-40.
The Turbo Diesel tag relates back to when the product was first introduced - it only carried the VW 505 01 spec as it was designed for certain VW turbo diesel engines - but things have moved on. The formulation has changed, but the name hasn't...
All in all, Castrol Edge TD 5w-40 is a very good oil, probably one of the best in Castrol's range regarding wide suitability.
All the above information has been confirmed in writing to us by Castrol's technical department.
