Before we changed the oil, when the car would idle, and also during accelerating between 28-33 mph, the motor used to produce a vibration that would cause the plastic air vents and air ducts behind the dash to give a really irritating buzzing sound. Since we changed to Castrol Edge, the sound never occurs during idle and only very lightly, sometimes not at all, while accelerating between 28-33 mph. <br /> <br />We're impressed!

It allows me to comfortably go to the maximum mileage allotment Nissan allows to keep my factory warranty in place and produces a very nice idle. I don't have harsh driving conditions but living in a town built in the 1800's I have lots of square blocks, stop signs & stop lights. This is a great option if you have lots of stop & go in your drive. <br /> <br />Castrol Blend or this are both recommended by my Nissan dealer so I feel pretty certain there are no issues with it with Nissan.

Once of their web sites says it is VW 507 00 certified, however, when I went to buy some from advance auto, there was not VW 507 approved reference on the bottle?!? What gives. This is ridiculous. It is very difficult to find VW 507 00. Mobil One ESP does exist but I can't find it locally. Rating: 1 / 5 Castrol is pulling fast one.

At about $8 a quart here and everywhere else, it is also some of the most expensive engine oil you can buy. I think the price has more to do with the lack of competition than any magical properties this oil has. That deal works out pretty well for both the manufacturer (they can sell oil changes for $120) and Castrol (for obvious reasons). <br /> <br />Edit: This oil DOES NOT meet VW 507.00 (dont know about the 504.00) specifications. They sell the exact same product (Castrol Edge 5W-30) in Europe and it only carries those specifications there. The US product is apparently different and does not have those specs. So I really see no reason to waste any money on this (and now I have to try to return some oil, unfortunately).
