Purpose and Specifications

Castrol Edge 5W40 M 5L is a premium full synthetic engine oil built for high-performance European cars like BMW, VW, Porsche, and Fiat. Its 5W40 viscosity flows easily in cold starts down to -30°C for quick protection, while staying thick and strong up to extreme high temperatures over 150°C, shielding your engine from wear during aggressive driving, towing, or track days.

Approved to tough specs including ACEA C3, API SN, BMW LL-04, VW 511.00, Porsche C40, and Fiat 9.55535-S2, it cuts friction by up to 20% for better acceleration, improved fuel economy, and less engine deposits. This means smoother power, longer engine life, and reliable performance mile after mile.

• Superior wear protection under high pressure keeps pistons, bearings, and turbos safe.
• Extended drain intervals up to 20,000 km (12,000 miles) or 12 months, saving you time and money.
• Full synthetic formula handles daily commutes or hot climates above 30°C without breaking down.

When to Use / Replace?

Use Castrol Edge 5W40 M in modern gasoline and diesel engines needing ACEA C3 5W40 oil, especially older European models (pre-2010) with higher mileage, performance mods, or heavy loads. Perfect for hot weather, spirited driving, or when your manual specifies these approvals.

Replace every 15,000-20,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, or sooner if towing frequently or in dusty/severe conditions. Shelf life is 5 years unopened when stored cool and dry.
