Hartside, I hope your poll is not suggesting to me that there is a "diesel" version of the same stuff I just bought??? There is only one type of Castrol Edge 0-30W isn't there????!!!!  |
Yes. Edge is for both diesel and petrol.
The interesting point is that it does not claim to meet the ACEA A1/B1 sequence that Honda specify as the preferred option for the 2.2 i-CTDI engine.
I'm trying to get an answer from Honda CS to confirm that Amsoil Series 2000 0W/30 is OK. This is similar. It claims A1/B1 and A3/B3 on the printed specification, but it turned out on the label to miss the A1/B1 spec.
BTW A1/B1 is the current economy spec
A3/B3 (& A3/**) are (I think) the heavier duty ratings, normally with higher viscosity ratings.
I'm assuming that both oils satisfy the A1/B1 or better. But I'm not using it until I've got confirmation. Does anyone know better?
