Castrol® EDGE® is our strongest motor oil, fully synthetic and liquid engineered with Fluid Titanium Technology to make it strong enough to handle the demands of today’s engines at all times. If you are driving a Chevy mobil 1 full synthetic Equinox that requires oils for gasoline engines, you need to use products that meet the Dexos 1 specification. Oils that meet Dexos 1 standard must go through 11 tests to ensure they are ideal for GM’s engines.
Advertisements for Castrol oil historically featured the slogan “Castrol – liquid engineering”. This was more recently refreshed and reintroduced as “It’s more than just oil. It’s liquid engineering.” Castrol advertising has been a part of telecasts of the National Football League for years. In 2011, Castrol’s Edge brand became the official motor oil sponsor for the league, along with Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson endorsing the product; it has since been renewed until the 2017 season. The endorsement deal with Peterson was terminated on 16 September 2014, due to ongoing child abuse allegations. In North America, Castrol has been an active sponsor of NHRA drag racing.
