Michael. 2313 Report post Posted April 12, 2018 Good price. It's a reasonable oil if you still run cats. Without cats and if you drive harder, the Penrite Racing/Premium range is a better option, higher ZDDP levels Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M3AN 4016 Report post Posted April 14, 2018 I still use Edge in the M3. The 328 does love its Penrite though. So does my wallet. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sammo 2550 Report post Posted June 16, 2020 The Edge 5w30 is often on sale as well. Supercheap / Repco are like Briscoes with their RRP / savings on oil... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Olaf 3342 Report post Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) @_ethrty-Andy_ Usually worth asking for the 20l price for HPR5W40. You'll often find it works out at under $8/litre. Edited June 16, 2020 by Olaf addressing 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Driftit 2093 Report post Posted June 16, 2020 Is this actually a good deal though? Don't they often do 50% off Castrol 5w30. Though I am currently due for a service. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Though I am currently due for a service. $8-10 a liter is normal price. thats why 320i arent very economical, because they burn more oil than they do petrol 1 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I gave up on Castrol Edge (used to run 0W40), I prefer the HPR5. I don't recall 50% off anything in NZ - except at Briscoes ? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any reason you didnt like the edge? I do feel like it usually requires a top up more so than the hpr5. But could have been the car not the oil Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olaf 3342 Report post Posted June 17, 2020 (edited) @qube Kyu, I found the same - fewer top-ups, and my engines ran smoother on HPR5. That and it's less-expensive than Castrol. Edited June 17, 2020 by Olaf 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Driftit 2093 Report post Posted June 20, 2020 I got 5w30 Edge for 50% off last year. Usually use Elf oils. But nobody sells it down here. At a reasonable price that is. Like everything in NZ.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
