    Is thinner oil okay for city driving only? Ano recommended viscosity for 5K engines?

    What are Castrol Magnatec's available viscosity in the market today?

    RP... Royal Purple ba to? Which is okay? Castrol's Magnatec or RP? How much ang RP?

    check your manual and use the thinnest viscosity it allows. Some engines require thin oils and other need thicker oil.

    Castrol Magnatec is 10w40

    RP is Royal Purple. Castrol magnatech is semi-synthetic while RP is 100% synthetic. RP beats Castrol. RP is available in different viscosities, 5w30, 10w30, 10w40, 15w40 and 20w50.

    IMO, RP is good stuff and well priced.

    to summerize:
    1. engine should be in good condition and well maintained
    2. eliminate unnecessary stuff in the vehicle to lessen weight
    3. check for stuck or rubbing parts that would add weight or stop movement of the car e.g. rubbing or stuck breakes, stuck aircon etc etc ungreased or lack of lubes for wheel bearings etc etc

    best is to leave car in the garage and take a nice walk or bike ride to your destination
