Title: Magnatec at ASDA
Post by: Hannah Judes Dad on 14 February 2011, 15:53:10

My local ASDA has got Castrol Magnatec 10w40 semi synthetic and 5w30 fully synthetic for sale at £10 each.They are 4 litre containers.Is it worth getting any?

I wouldn't touch Magnatec with a barge pole, personally - especially considering the GM semi synth is £11.60 for 5ltr on trade club, and at the moment is buy three get one free (£34.80 for 20ltr).  Fully synth dexos2 is £17 for 5ltr with the same deal (£51 for 20ltr)..

No Castrol is quite bad at creating mayo, it appears to create a lot more of it. GM Semi Synth all the way, its cheaper too  :y

GM oil + trade card = win.

Don't see why you'd do anything else really.
