What is the difference between Ilsac GF-5 and GF-6?

As the successor of the ILSAC GF-5, the GF-6 will be a new industry standard and will be backwards compatible with the previous standards. This means that a GF-6 oil can be used in an engine that previously was using a GF-5 oil, as the GF-6 is simply a higher standard for the oil’s properties.

Is Castrol EDGE a GF-6?

While you can safely mix synthetic and conventional oils, you’re doing nothing more than diluting the performance of the synthetic oil.

What are the requirements for ILSAC GF-2 an oil?

The GF-2 standards requires 0W-30, 0W-40, 5W-20, 5W-30, 5W-40, 5W-50, 10W-30, 10W-40 and 10W-50 motor oils to meet stringent requirements for phosphorus content, low temperature operation, high temperature deposits and foam control.
