Since it claims to be "excellent for long term storage", it's reasonably safe to assume, at the very least, that it has some anti-corrosion additives not typically found in typical machine oil or motor oil.

Aren't you doing exactly what you criticized C0untZer0 for? You are
assuming, based (apparently) solely on an advertising claim, that a product contains certain additives but you don't seem to have any (ahem)
facts to substantiate that assumption. At the same time, you are assuming that motor oils do NOT have any anti-corrosive additives, and that is erroneous. Motor oils DO have anti-corrosion additives.

Castrol EDGE with SYNTEC Power Technology delivers:
Power: 42% better rating on fighting power-robbing deposits [1]
Protection: Superior engine protection against corrosive particles versus conventional and synthetic blend oils [2]
Performance: Superior performance on deposit, wear and oxidation, meeting the toughest industry requirements [2]
Castrol EDGE with SYNTEC neutralizes acids in your engine that can cause rust and corrosion on vital engine parts such as cylinders, bearings and hydraulic valve lifters as well as providing stability and endurance under extreme conditions (heat, load, speed) that can cause conventional oils to break down. Best of all, EDGE can be used with confidence in every gasoline-engine passenger car, new or old, regardless of oil previously used.
