Castrol Edge 0W30 and 0W40 are basically same oil except 0W40 has more viscosity improvers
0W30 has Noack 8.1%
0W40 has Noack 9.1%
It is bit more complicated than that (0W20 oils have higher Noack generally) but in discussion about ACEA A3 and C3 oils this is basically rule of thumb.

Just thought it was a better Liqui Moly alternative to what he was considering. |
Also, Castrol Edge 5W30 A3 available in Wal Mart has Noack 9.5%. And that is mediocre oil IMO.
