ok b castrol magnatec...

[doneric0423]

pwede lagay ang castrol magnatec sa revo diesel engine?
okey ba siya for its price?

[alwayz_yummy]

ok naman, alam ko isa sa murang synthetic na mabibili yan.. reddish kung nakalagay na sa makina-->yun ang nakikita ko sa maxima ko,e..

[speedyfix]

hindi sya synthetic. it's just a semi syn mix.

[rion]

I think ok lang yan. the issue with 10ws is they can get easily eaten by diesel engine compared to 15w's, if the engine is not in good condition.

been using it on our 2.2TD van. puwede diesel or gas.

though the oil looks thin, looks like water, but it's actually just lighter.

in my case, oil level reading will be lower if I check it in just 6 hours after use. I need atleast 10 to make the oil settle down.

meron akong nabasang article just a few minutes ago na isang article sa internet, site nya yata is carbibles.com, basta about oil additives yung article, sa last part ng article, merong discussion about castrol magnatec..........na ngayon ay pinull-out na sa us market

yhap, for many years they cant release magnatec in the us and canada, although its been selling here in asia for many years already. castrol is afraid of being sued because of magnatecs claim that the oil bonds with the metal. i guess they cant substantiate that in court or they just dont want to go through the trouble. but that shows us that they are not fully confident about their claim.

eventually, they did release it there but under a different name: syntec

^^^ But I've seen Castrol Magnatecs being sold here locally as Magnatec. As a matter of fact, I've been using it for a year now, on my Sentra & Accord. Haven't seen the Syntec brand though.

are you in the usa?

i just checked castrol usa website and they dont have magnatec. they do carry syntec. "start up" pala yata ang equivalent ng magnatec there not syntec, but apparently it has been discontinued.

[Galactus]

My bad. Dito po ako QC. Akala ko kasi yung Syntec ang nandito sa Pinas

[rayban7g]

So far oks naman gamitin, naging hiyang naman sa oto ko. And it's one of the affordable semi-syn oil in the market. Availabilities are abundant too, kahit sa mga auto supplies nagcacarry narin sila unlike few years ago na hirap maghanap.

Regarding Syntec, if I'm not mistaken, it's a fully-syn and not the counterpart of Magnatec.

problem with castrol over prolonged use is that it leaves varnish on the engine and in some cases sludge.

ouuuchh!

buti na lang hindi ako gumagamit nito. tried it once, di maganda andar eh

[sdavis]

For me, overpriced ang Castrol. Dati gumagamit din ako nyan pero nung nagmahal na mga bilihin, I shifted to local brands na ok naman ang quality

[rayban7g]

OT: eh kala ko di ka gumagamit, pero na-try mo, ano ba talaga?!

Anyway, I agree w/ speedy, di purke semi-syn matagal interval nung oil change, yung iba kasi hanggang 7k kms. pinapaabot pa w/c causes more sludges. That's why I change it on or before 5k (max of 6 months). Well enough said, I've never encountered any problems w/ its' performance etc., kanya kanyang taste lang yan ikanga.

context is prolonged use of castrol, tried it once but did not use it long term...

5k change oil interval should be just about right. some purists would change their oil every 2k or 3k interval.

[honday]

may gumagamit pa ba ng castrol magnatec? may nag offer kasi sa akin 260 per liter..

[meledson]

1st time to use sa avanza j and 2x na sa 9'th gen ZZ. OK naman for me. palit every 5,000 km.

magkano bili mo meledson sa castrol mo? wala ka bang sludge na na experienced?

[meledson]

nag mahal na. dati 1,040.00 ang 4-liter na bote. now 300.00 na ang kada liter.

wala pa naman signs of sludge. maganda pa ang kulay ng oil ng na drain sa ZZ.
