Brand: Castrol Edge Titanium (recently changed to: Castrol Edge Extended Performance with Titanium FST...)
Price: $8.xx per quart regular price.
Purchased From: Anywhere that carries high quality oil (Wal-Mart fits in the category believe it or not)
Installation: Brainless
Installation Time: 15-20 minutes if your good. Takes me 45 minutes on a lazy Sunday.
Any Installation Tips: Drain old oil, replace oil filter, open oil fill cap, open new oil container, pour new oil into open oil fill neck, blah, etc.
Quality of Part: 9.9/10
Product Performance: 9.9/10
Recommend to Others: Absolutely
Comments: Castrol Edge is the top of the line oil for British Petrolium and Titanium is the pinnacle. Castrol Edge Titanium recently had a name change to "Castrol Edge Extended Performance" with the tagline "Guaranteed protection up to 15,000 miles with Titanium FST" where FST stands for "Fluid Strength Technology." (this would presumably be to compete directly in the public eye with Mobile 1 extended performance) It still comes in a 'gold' bottle instead of the standard black Castrol Edge container.
When I bought my car I used nothing but Royal Purple oil for several years and could tell a huge difference over conventional oil. In my opinion, Royal Purple performs even better than Mobile 1 Extended Performance. The only reason I know this is because Mobile often goes on sale whereas RP almost never does. We all know how tight money is for most of us, and it is hard to justify almost $10/quart for something that will be gone in 3-7k miles. So when Castrol Edge Titanium was introduced at a discount, I thought I might as well try it... if I didn't like it, it's only for one oil change. Turns out that it is great oil and totally on par with Royal Purple. I only rated it 9.9/10 because I don't believe there is such a thing as "perfect" oil, and there is most likely room for further development.
Two weeks ago I happened to buy a 5 quart jug at Wal-Mart for ~$25.00 (~$5/quart) and changed the oil myself for a steal of a price. So my suggestion is to wait till it's on sale an jump on it for similar or better performance to Royal Purple for a fraction of the cost.
