I think the BFs may have a slightly different grade oil recommended. I get my oil and filter changed every 5000km. My dealer has never tried to discourage me. The 5W-40 isn't actually listed on the Castrol website for some reason but I have been to Castrol and seen drums of it so it's not just some story by the dealer to try and lighten your wallet! Only available in 20lt and 205lt drums. 10W-40 Magnatec is available in 5lt at most auto parts shops and even K-Mart.The Magnatec 5W-40 oil is a trade oil only.It can be found on the Castrol website here...Castrol - Car Dealerships & Workshops - Engine Oils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colbourne Member 52 Member For: 20y 9m 26d Posted 24/01/06 01:35 AM Share Posted 24/01/06 01:35 AM Is it ok to mix oils when topping up , if you do not have the correct oil handy. Is there any real bad effects of adding two different type's of oils together ie synthetic and standard oils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
