TWS name change in Aus
See my new 20 litre drum of oil and notice name has changed from "TWS Motorsport" to "Edge Professional" TWS. Same for you guys in US?

Here's the new drum and the old 5 litre used to come in.

Hi Allan,

I can't answer your question, but I'm interested in 'where from' and 'how much'?? :-)

Cheers,
Adam.

Castrol has to cater to every possibility:

I use Castrol Edge Sport 10w60 exclusively in mine, I buy it from the local stores in standard 5L containers. Want to bet it's the same? Or close enough as makes no difference?

P.S Where did you get the drum from? BMW? I almost don't want to know how much it was

It isn't. Do some research.

See I would but I don't really care. Mine runs very well on the Edge Sport, much better than the other synthetics I've tried - it also burns noticeable less oil.

Thanks for your helpful response though, really raises the bar for insightful posts.
