Which is better, Castrol EDGE or Castrol MAGNATEC?
1 Answers
Previously, the MAGNATEC series of engine oils included both semi-synthetic and fully synthetic oils, but nowadays, the MAGNATEC series, like the EDGE series, is classified as fully synthetic oil. However, overall, the performance of the EDGE series is superior to that of the MAGNATEC series, though it also comes at a higher price. Below are the relevant details: 1. EDGE series: The EDGE series utilizes Titanium Fluid Strength Technology, which alters the physical structure of the oil, causing it to harden under extreme pressure to separate metals and reduce friction. 2. MAGNATEC series: This includes MAGNATEC oil, MAGNATEC Stop-Start oil, and MAGNATEC SUV oil. MAGNATEC oil and MAGNATEC SUV oil employ Dualock technology, where original intelligent molecules and new intelligent molecules tightly bond together to form a robust protective layer on the surfaces of various components, effectively reducing wear during startup and warm-up. MAGNATEC Stop-Start oil is specifically designed for engines in heavy traffic conditions, reducing over 20% of the destructive engine wear caused by stop-start operations. 3. Differences: (1) EDGE series oil is a fully synthetic oil that incorporates titanium, a metal element resistant to low temperatures and corrosion. The liquid titanium formula significantly enhances the oil's low-temperature resistance and anti-corrosion properties while minimizing metal-to-metal friction, thereby reducing power loss due to friction. (2) MAGNATEC series oil is also a fully synthetic oil with a unique formula that allows the oil film to adhere to the surfaces of engine components, reducing wear during cold starts and extending the engine's lifespan.
