Castrol EDGE 5W-30 M Fully Synthetic Engine Oil – 5L • 15F6DC
Castrol EDGE 5W-30 M engine oil for petrol and diesel vehicles requiring SAE 5W-30 with the applicable ACEA, API, BMW or Mercedes-Benz specifications.
Castrol EDGE 5W-30 M is a fully synthetic engine oil developed for modern engines operating under demanding loads, temperatures and pressures. The current formulation combines SAE 5W-30 viscosity with ACEA C2 and C3 performance classifications and the latest API SQ gasoline-engine specification.
The 5-litre container is particularly useful for complete engine-oil services where the vehicle's service-fill quantity falls within the available pack volume, while also leaving some applications with useful top-up oil remaining. Always check the vehicle's specified oil capacity before filling.

Specifications & approvals: The current Castrol Product Data Sheet lists ACEA C2, ACEA C3 and API SQ. Formal manufacturer approvals include BMW Longlife-04 and MB-Approval 229.51 / 229.52. Castrol separately states that the product meets Fiat 9.55535-S3.
Typical technical characteristics: Density at 15°C approximately 0.85 g/ml; kinematic viscosity at 40°C approximately 71 mm²/s; kinematic viscosity at 100°C approximately 12.0 mm²/s; viscosity index 167; CCS viscosity at -30°C approximately 6000 mPa.s; pour point approximately -42°C; flash point approximately 220°C; sulphated ash approximately 0.7% by weight.
Other items to consider: When carrying out a complete engine-oil service, consider replacing the engine oil filter and drain-plug sealing washer at the same time. Always check the specified service-fill quantity before filling and confirm the final level using the vehicle's normal level-checking procedure.
Why Castrol? Castrol EDGE is engineered for modern engines operating under high pressure and demanding conditions, helping maintain lubrication and engine protection throughout the oil-drain interval.
What's in the bottle / pack: 1 × 5-litre container of Castrol EDGE 5W-30 M fully synthetic engine oil, Castrol article number 15F6DC.
Service / installation notes: Check the vehicle handbook for the correct SAE viscosity, performance specification and service-fill quantity before use. Do not select engine oil by viscosity alone where a particular manufacturer approval or specification is required.
Storage: Store the container under cover and protect it from excessive heat, direct sunlight and freezing conditions.
