I've been using Castrol Edge 5w/40 for both my car Elantra 1.8 and Starex Turbo Diesel 2.5 for the past 5 years now. Only change the oil once a year for both cars, average mileage 12,000/year. But I change the oil filter for every six month.

I am really pleased with the Edge, both cars running well, smooth acceleration. My driving style is aggressive, speeding most of the time and always taking over other cars, so I would say the engine need good protection, and Edge has surpassed my expectation.

Sometimes I've thought to try LM but the price is just too much, my Starex would need 8 litres and that'll be RM500!

Anyway if you ask me about Edge, I would say it's a very good oil!

I would recommend using Duron-E synthetic 10w40 for your Starex diesel.
8L RM400.00

In regards to drain interval, most users make it 15-20k. You can stick to 12k as well if you wish.

Just changed my Elantra engine oil 60,000, this time LM High Tech 5W40. Before this mainly using EDGE. Straight away can feel LM much quieter & smoother. Plan to use it on my Starex, but that'll need 2 x 4L
