Oh wouldnt touch magnatec with a barge pole tbh but what year is your sti (classic, new age etc?)
Standard oil is 10w40 semi synthetic, or you can go fully synth

Get this magnatec thing out of your mind
Far better oils out there, you can go for shell 10w40, millers 10w40, (semi synth) but forget castrol!
Still different year cars can use different types of oil, what year car do you have?

10 40 will be spot on.

The specialists use 10/40 or 10/60 for hard use (usually Millers).

10W 40 is what's needed .... Semi-Sythetic .... Comma is absolutely fine .... £13 for 5 Litres .... that's all you need.
