Oil compatibility?

Post by sciroccorich »

Are these two Castrol Oils the same but just have re branded packaging?

Castrol Edge 5w-30 Titanium FST LL (longlife) - 4 litre bottle
Castrol Edge 5w-30 FST - 1 Litre bottle

There both vw 504 / 507. The LL (long life) bit and the titanium info are making me wonder!

I need 4.7 litres for an oil change and I'm hoping their at least compatible to mix (4l + most of the 1 litre)

You can mix them without any issue. If you want contact oilman at Opie Oils for confirmation.

I believe it's just rebranding

Thanks Bob......I thought that might be the case because places like Halfords sell them mixed together under one price tag.
