I think only one of those Walmart Castrol Edge products is actually made in Germany.

Anyways it seemed to sheer out in high temperatures - not sure how to put a finger on it, but the engine was a little bit louder (high frequency noises, aka friction sources) normal oil usage (actually this thing really doesn't burn any oil). But I was definitely happy to change it out.



I FINALLY used this stuff again in my LR3 last oil change, and the engine is quiet, zero oil consumption, etc..
So you tried it once and didn't like it but the second time it was fine or was the first Castrol you used a different weight?
