<font face="Arial">If you look at the description on the container
(at least here in Oz) the 5W-50 is for big bore flat tappet cam engines.
That is a very apt description of my 3000. The Castrol Edge Sport</font>
is the modern old Castrol R, It's all to do with marketing.<br>

<div><font style="background-color: transparent;" face="Arial,
Helvetica, sans-serif">At our local club meeting last nite
we had a discussion on motor oil. I had been using Castrol
Syntec 20W-50 but I learned that they no longer offer that.
They now offer Edge (formally Syntec) in 5W-50, 10W-40 &
several other weights, but no 20W-50. Several of our club
members are using the 5W-50. Keeping in mind that we seldom
drive in weather below 40 degrees F. What are your thoughts
on using 5W-50? What weight oil do you recommend?</font></div>

<div><font style="background-color: transparent;" face="Arial,

the zinc additive for classic cars. Also, Valvoline offers
their VR-1 in a 20W-50 with the zinc additive. </font></div>
