Castrol, one of the world’s leading lubricant manufacturers, today unveiled Castrol EDGE Professional LL IV FE 0W-20, Volkswagen Group’s first 0W-20 engine oil, exclusively developed with Volkswagen for the benefit of customers of Volkswagen Group franchised workshops and dealerships.
Developed by Castrol in strategic co-operation with Volkswagen Group, the new Castrol EDGE Professional product exceeds VW’s fuel economy specification, delivering more than 4% fuel economy* while maintaining the performance expected of oils meeting the LongLife service regime. This oil is already supplied as first fill for specific engines of Volkswagen Group vehicles, allowing them to deliver up to 30,000km of driving before an oil change is needed**.
The new LongLife oil is intended for use in engines requiring the VW 508 00/ 509 00 Specification. These are a new breed of engine, built to use latest technology oils like Castrol EDGE Professional LL IV FE 0W-20 to maximise their performance.
Oliver Rose, Vice President Strategic Cooperation, at BP commented: “After over a decade of close collaboration with Volkswagen Group, Castrol has raised the bar in delivering the first LongLife 0W-20 oil for the Group. Engine oils that deliver greater fuel economy without compromising on performance are essential today, and we’re delighted to announce the first low viscosity oil for Volkswagen Group engines.”
Castrol EDGE Professional LL IV FE 0W-20 will be available in Volkswagen Group franchised workshops and dealerships from October 2016.
