scottravenhill Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 4 litres of Castrol gtx at Asda at mo for a tenner. Everyone says magnatec but for this price, is there much difference? I need to change my oil and its rather tempting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
civicturbo79 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I would go for it mate , if the oil is old and no good ,nice new oil cannot do it any harm , Rich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottravenhill Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Yeah,I've got Mobil in it at the mo just thought that as its 14 quid cheaper there might be a good reason for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to change my oil and its rather tempting!I notice a difference between these 2, magnatec made my car feel horrible compared to gtx, never buy magnatec again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
civicturbo79 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Oil is oil as long as its the right grade it will be fine ,All you pay the extra for is the name on the can (imo) . Rich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottravenhill Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I don't personally believe an oil change makes the car feel any better to drive at all, just my opinion. That's also not what its supposed to do. But I just thought I'd post it up in the unlikely event that it didn't agree with these cars, as a lot of people on here swear by magnatec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I know oil is oil. But I dont rate magnatec. I used to get noisy head on hot start. Changed to mobil. Problem solved.But yeah agree any oils gotta be better than no oil! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
