    Castrol EDGE with Titanium Fluid Strength Technology? is so strong Castrol had to engineer the tests to prove it.

    To watch the Castrol Edge Titanium Fluid Strength test and Maximum Endurance test visit the new Castrol Edge Titanium website www.castroledge.com.au




    Up to 40% stronger at reducing metal to metal contact compared to a leading competitor Stronger for up to 35% longer in the Maximum Endurance Test.

    WHY DOES AN OIL NEED TO BE STRONG?
    Engine technology is constantly racing forward. As drivers, we?ve demanded more and more power from smaller, lighter engines. In the last decade alone, certain tests indicate the average level of operating pressures within the engine has doubled. Some engine parts such as the cam and follower are placed under pressures of up to 10,000kg per square centimetres. All that separates these components is the thin layer of oil. So if you use a weak oil it may fail to resist this pressure, causing metal to metal contact, which can increase friction and reduces efficiency. If you want the confidence to drive with freedom, you need to know your oil can adapt and respond to everything you demand of it.
    So ask yourself, do you want a strong oil or a weak oil?

    TITANIUM FLUID STRENGTH TECHNOLOGY?
    As engines have evolved, so have our oils. We?ve developed a new dynamic system that actively strengthens the oil called Titanium Fluid Strength Technology?.
    Titanium Fluid Strength Technology? continuously responds and adapts to your engine?s every need even under the severest possible pressures. Tailor-made to the specific requirements of a range of engines, it is designed to minimise metal to metal contact, constantly adapt across a variety of engine speeds and driving conditions, and remain stronger for longer, giving you always the confidence to drive how you want, when you want.

    It is proven to:
    Help maximise short and long term engine performance
    Help sustain improved performance for longer even when under pressure
    Deliver excellent protection when reducing metal to metal contact between the critical engine surfaces
    Enhance engine efficiency.

    THE OIL MUST WITHSTAND OVER 10,000KG OF PRESSURE PER SQUARE CENTIMETRE

    THE FLUID STRENGTH TEST

    To prove the adaptive strength of Castrol EDGE, our engineers have devised the Fluid Strength Test, which measures the amount of metal to metal contact between engine parts.

    THE MAXIMUM ENDURANCE TEST
    Every drive is a test of your oil?s strength so it must have the capacity to respond again and again to a wide range of driving styles and situations.
    That?s why Castrol EDGE has been assessed in the most punishing industry test there is.

    13,650 LITRES OF FUEL, 4 SETS OF TYRES, BUT ONLY 1 OIL.

    In our Maximum Endurance Test an engine is run at full speed and left to run indefinitely until the oil is compromised and the engine fails using 13,650 litres of fuel, 4 sets of tyres, but only 1 oil.


    Maximum Endurance Test - Extreme maximum performance run time

    This test assessed the oil?s capacity for responding and adapting when an engine is pushed to its limits over a sustained period
    In Castrol EDGE?s case, its strength was maintained up to 35% longer^ than a leading competitor - demonstrating enhanced performance under the very toughest conditions.

    By pushing engines to the point of destruction we?re able to show conclusively that however you drive, Castrol EDGE will have more than enough strength to adapt and respond.

    that graphic is misleading.

    148 is only about 60% more than 93, but the graphic makes it look more like 400%

    Even so, I use Castrol products almost exclusively as they are superb.

    Except they don't make a 5w50, so I use Mobil 1 when I need that.

    What?

    The axis is labelled.

    Personally I'd set the low end at zero, but I'm not a marketer, however it's graphically accurate - statistically speaking.

    it's correct, but misleading.

    the axis is not clear, and the eye is drawn to the colours rather than the axis labelling.

    it looks like the green is ~4 times better than the other, but it's not, it's about 2/3rds better.
