was thinking of buying some magnatec fully synthetic,whats everyones opinion on this oil,as halfords do there own brand of fully synthetic for 41 pound and at the moment magnatec is only 25.99.is there any other synthetic in the 30 pound price range thats just as good or better.

 

i have used magnetic many times without a problem 10/40 semi-syth isnt a problem i change oil every 3 months

 

im gonna go for fully synthetic in the magnatec range

 

just done service and used magnatec no probs

 

cheers the car was serviced by previous owner with magnatec and only had car month,but even thou the oil was nice and clear when i got it just thought id buy some while its cheap.

lol cheers

 

We've go the Gulf Competition on offer at the moment for £29.99 to Scoobynet members

That is a way better oil than GTX (which is actually a very basic oil) and Magnatec, it's as good as the Millers CFS or Fuchs Pro S, it's an ester based full synthetic. We got offered a deal by Gulf so we're passing the discount on.

We've said it on here several times before, the Halfords own brand oils are pretty low quality.

Very good, we market them side by side.

Ran our 380 bhp evo on magnatec no problems whatsoever. Was going to service scoob with it aswell but bought complete service package from graham good racing which includes mobil 1 so see how i get on.

 

The Magnatec will be fine, however in a high performance turbo car used hard it would not be my choice.

Costco have Castrol Edge 5w40 for £27 for 4 litres also asda had Mobil1 esp5 Litres 5w40 for £30

 

They do but they won't for long as they have annoyed the oil manufacturers by undervaluing the oils

We'll beat their price anyway, so no real point in advertising them. We've got a pricebeater guarantee, so for any online delivered price, we'll beat them. Can't always do it for local pick up, but ask and we can try.

Cheers

Just to clarify - the 10w/40 Magnatec is semi-synthetic

JohnD

 

they do a fully synthetic aswell lol i live in havering aswell

 

None of the Magnatecs are a true synthetic, top ones are a group III hydrocracked synthetic (mineral base). For the true synthetics you need to move up to the edge range.
