Anyone running the Castrol Magnatec 0W-40? Going to give it a sump full of that and see if theres any difference between that and the Valvo.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has it got something to do with viscosity index, flash point, or friction modifiers.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XRSEXT Member 235 Member For: 12y 4m 26d Gender: Male Posted 11/12/12 12:40 AM Share Posted 11/12/12 12:40 AM (edited) yes my first post indeed!! how can it be a good lubricating oil if its "sticking" to engine components, wouldnt it be creating abit to much friction?? and what happens when you change the oil?? some of its gona stick in places if that's what it does and over time will create problems.. give magnatec another 5 years on the market and see the results within engines using it.. dont get me wrong theres nothing wrong with castrol, I used it in my WRX but have since upgraded to a 2012 XR6 Turbo in manual, best move ever!!.. I just wont ever grasp the concept of an oil that sticks to engine parts as opposed to creating a film of oil like normal engine oil should?.. that's just my 2 cents Edited 11/12/12 12:43 AM by XRSEXT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
