I highly recommend this oil! – I bought my 2005 corolla wagon in 2009 when it was 4 years old and done 117,000 km. I've used Castrol Magnatec 10W40 in my car the whole time and… Read more

it's now 2022 and the car has done 345,000 but still runs as good as the day I got it! It has had no loss of power and it's fuel economy is still as good as ever! I religiously change my oil every 3 months or 5,000km as it states on the bottle, I also change the oil filter at the same time. I can use the more expensive Castrol Edge 5W30 and leave it oil changes for every 10,000kms but I still prefer to use the cheaper Magnatec and change the oil more often as I feel it is better for the car.

recommended was magautac 15w 40w and thought maybe mistake and rang castrol and it was correct the. Car ran fine on it. So repco had castrol edge on special for $ 40 a bottle and it made big change in fuel users and was 650..km around town. And 850 km on. Open road and very happy with d products . I have been use from XL , GTX to edge. So there was some bad stories of GTX in 80s. The car dealer were charging the oil at 1500km at make money at when the had run in oil to bed the rings in. So most were use castrol XL as not friction modified oil . So changing oil at 1500 cases the bore of to glaze there bore and use oil because needed friction to brake the motor in right. It was Japanese cars, as manuals told you not sitting on one speed at all times . They were days you had run in, some still do for new types of auto transmission castrol is company that doesn't say one oil sures all as some do. That why most oils don't put friction modified on labels. So read you hand book on year new car or second hand car for right oil specific. As a lot motor are full alloy and not checking oil and coolants weekly, could cost your good bye motor As it happens in 60s with one USA biggest manufacturer and sold to ròver England and serviced for over 40 years. Don't take the risk, the same as your tyres weekly pressure's. I pcl brand gauge made in England, but I don't know if still buy in Australia or who imports them. As we used them for over 25 year with no problems. I got all my family and friends pen type for gifts over 10 years ago pep parts.
