BP/Castrol ran the ASTM Seq IVA test on Royal Purple, Valvoline, Mobil 1 and others and found Edge trumped M1 by 8x on this test.
As I said on Bob's, it's the additives that really make the difference and I think Castrol/Valvoline/Amsoil all have the edge in that area. All 3 seem to use Lubrizol too. FWIW.
