Castrol makes an decent oil, but they are the first to cheapen their products, then turn around to advertise how great their "invention" is. And Edge is over-priced compared to other common "synthetic" oils.
It's your money, do with it what you will.

very realistic answer, I stayed with regular stuff a long time. Syntec did something amazing, and pondered going to what they may call the best. It is rather steep in cost, having a low consumption engine is a good idea to even think of it.
since synthetic, the pressure reliefs are rheostatical type fluid right by subaru manuals to function, the engine kicks open all of them in the cold, and stays at 65psi a long time...right by the book and more than a hint of very very lubed. My only problem left was this cold temp oil and waiting on a super lubed engine..staying cold longer...
I may try by the quart, as mixing and matching the castrols is another bonus to try thing out.
oil sincerely has to work miracles. I can't even remember how many times I have heard the undersides of a couple of thousand cars..and knew what oil they put in as a fresh change (that happens after that many hours and cars as a pitman). Its more than goo in a bottle folks...
