    Yes they have been selling quantum now for a few years. It is a vw brand. It is certainly great value but some say it's not anywhere near the quality of the top branded oils.

    I done some research into it recently and although quantum is a very good oil I've been using it in my golf the edge is better. So next time I'm going to get edge for my car. Tbh you have to dig fairly deep to find any different. But it's basically the raw material which the oil is produced from edge uses a better more expensive base block than quantum. Which means the edge has slightly better lunrication qualities. But I mean we are talking very slight I wouldnt say that quantum is a bad oil or anything but if you wanted to be perticular about it edge is better.

    Mobile 1 is better value than castrol edge imo.
