Castrol EDGE 5W-30 LL

Castrol EDGE 5W-30 LL for BMW Longlife-04, VW 504 00/507 00 and Porsche C30

Castrol EDGE 5W-30 LL is a 5W-30 engine oil with an ACEA C3 and API SQ listing, aimed at petrol, diesel and hybrid cars that ask for a Longlife-type oil.

Compared with other 5W-30 oils, the point of this one is its Longlife-oriented specification list rather than its viscosity.

Choosing the right oil

Pick the LL grade when the handbook names BMW Longlife-04, VW 504 00 or 507 00, or Porsche C30, because those codes point to extended-interval engines. If your car only asks for a plain ACEA C3 5W-30, the C3 version of EDGE is the closer match; if the handbook names a specific car-maker code that is not among those above, choose an oil that lists it.

Always follow the drain interval in the service schedule rather than any assumption about the oil.
