Castrol magnatec...??

[ftorex]

Hi, Ive just bought an 93 RX7 Type r and im about to do a bit of a service on it.Im still a bit confused as to which oil to use..Is Castrol Magnatec ok or would i be better off with just Castrol GTX..??
Any help would be great..! :wave

[Kieron]

I\'ve been told that SILKOLENE XTR 10W-40 is best, talk to OPIE oils, banner at the top,. they will point you in the right direction.

[davehg]

use only mineral oil, i use castrol 10-40W

[TonyBlair]

I thought I\'d read somewhere before that Magnatec is a big "no no".

I use 10W-40 mineral oil (Castrol I think). Worth dropping an e-mail to Opie Oils to see what he\'d recommend.

you wont get better than a fully synthetic oil, especially a double ester.
I have several customers using Royal Purple 10w40, which is just that.

[TonyBlair]

I\'ve read somewhere before that Royal Purple is the best oil to use... think that\'s what Pip uses (WGT Auto\'s).

I suppose I should treat my car to a bottle instead of poisoning her with Halfords stuff.

[g11ary]

There are several well informed guys now using Royal Purple just some.
Carl Hayward in his 4 rotor
Tim in his 1st gen
Dave Nixon in his RX3 race car
and you can also ask Pip about it.

Is Halfords stuff a no no then?
I just bought some of their own Part Synthetic 10w40 as thats what they recommended for \'92> Gen3s in store. Havent used any of it yet. Should i be taking it back and geting some better stuff or will this be ok just to keep it topped up?

Adam,
For safety and peace of mind, exchange that for straight mineral.

I don\'t want to sound offensive to Halfords employee\'s, but if the experts on here say use Royal Purple or at least full mineral then I\'d say go for that over Halfords recommendations.

So is "castrol GTX magnatec 10w - 40 synthetic" wrong

[g11ary]

Think you will find its not a true synthetic

[gsb876]

Think you will find its not a true synthetic

Is it wrong though ?

[Oedipus Rex]

if its just hydrocracked rather than an ester according to oil mans oil description it will be fine.
