Default Castrol Edge??

So i heard about the new castrol edge on the superbowl ad. http://www.castroledgeusa.com/

Is it complete BS or is it true they claim to be better then Mobil1. What do you all think about it?

Just remember that you only have to be better than something else in one test for that kind of statement to be true...

Which mobil 1 5w30? Don't they make conventional, synthetic blend, and fully synthetic? Which one of those particular ones does it say is better?

I have used Castrol GTX in my Old taurus. The oil is not too expensive, but not cheap, either. I plan on using that (not the edge as it's out of my budget) for my next oil change.

Here is a direct link to their product data:

They can't claim it has 8x better wear protection than Mobil1, unless it does. According to the tests done after 100 hours run time, it really was better.
Plus, it is the same price as Mobil1. It is cheaper than Royal Purple. I would definitely give it a shot.
