That is the old name for TWS:

There are actually some differences between TWS Edge Professional and TWS Motorsport:
TWS Edge Professional vs TWS Motorsport Thread

It's just funny how many varieties of TWS there are:
TWS Motorsport
TWS Edge Professional
Edge TWS for M-models (Amazon)
Edge Titanium FST

Though granted TWS Motorsport is probably the predecessor to one of the others.

Actually, a lot of it can be blamed on BP's weird marketing and decision to use different names for the same product.

Then again, SOPUS does the same thing with the Shell/Pennzoil stuff...as does XOM.

Looks like Amazon's inventory has been swapped out and we have yet another new variety to add to the list!

I think it's the same oil, just rebranded for the UK market. The product data sheet shows it was last revised June 2016 (last year). I also looked at an older data sheet for TWS and all of the values are identical.
