which castrol oil do you recommend?, I couldn't find castrol Edge at my area.... only regular Castrol synthetic is available...BTW, I heard Royal purple is one of the best engine oil at the market, but not with nissan VQ engines. Is it true?

Castrol Edge is overpriced. Walmart has it for around $34 for a 5 quart container. When you can get Penzoil Plat for $20 (5 quart jug), M1 for $22 (4 quart jug), Castrol Syntec $25 (5 quart jug).

Royal Purple is one of the worst oils you can get.

Truth in Advertising: BP v. Royal Purple

+ all the tests done on bobistheoilguy.com forums.

Would be interesting to follow up on who actually makes Nissan ester. I don't believe for a minute that Nissan makes is but does hold the patent. Got some good stuff on bobistheoilguy.com on Nissan ester oil. However, no one is sure who makes it. It is not common enough to generate a lot of interest. I am sure with a little digging that someone will discover the maker and how much ester is has in it. It could be only a small %. Like some oils that advertise being synthetic but only have a small amount of synthetic base stock. Ester is not new. Amsoil makes their compressor oil with it. I would imagine that any good group IV or above would do very well. Will do some digging and see what I can find.

Just curious what it is on the graphs posted on the previous page that proves Royal Purple is one of the worst oils you can get. Seems like it did just fine to me.
