Hi Bitog's, I read here frequently, finally decided to register.
I've used Magnatec for the last 6 years....the syn-blend, and full syn. In every vehicle I've used it in, they're quiet, no start up noises, and no oil consumption. I love it. VERY disappointed to see it discontinued. I have looked through the threads but haven't really come up with a definitive answer. Is the new GTX Full Syn the direct Magnatec replacement? Or should I step up to Edge? I did notice people talking about the titanium additive disappearing from the GTX FS 5W-30, but nothing else about major changes. I drive a 2012 Nissan Frontier 4x4 V6, known for timing chain rattle on a cold start. My current Wix/Magnatec combo does NOT do this, and I want to keep it that way. Great site!! Love reading here.
