Castrol GTX Magnatec 5W-20 Motor Oil- Feel Me!

[AirgunSavant]

Got it on sale at Wally World online for $18.74 (5qts)
XG2 Fram for under $7, Free shipping.

The question............ You guys dig the "feel me" sticker on the bottle ?

I have not seen the "feel me" bottles at my local Wally World.
Are you going to post a UOA? I am curious about the product.

 

[ExMachina]

The feel me? I'm not feeling it.
What in the world were they comparing their oil to? To get those striated marks on the surface like that, you'd have to use canola oil with sand in it.

 

[Shannow]

They were doing an "artist's impression" of what their product did in the Sequence IV versus the sequence IV limits.

Silly advertising, but it seems to work with people (not on this site).

 

[AirgunSavant]

Yes I will in the near future

I think the engines were file fitted

I agree, so gimmicky lol

Is that a new sale? The WMarts around here had GTX Magnatec for $20 and GTX HM blend at $18 last week.

The 'feel me' sticker is lame. I scratched and sniffed. I'm not sure what I was really expecting.

 

[daves87rs]

Why not? Might as well try it....

 

[53' Stude]

The Magnatec is $18.73 for the synblend and full syn

LOL- I was going to try that too

I will say their bottles are a 1000X better than Super Techs!

I like Castrol products but their advertising has been cosistently stupid and aimed at the ignorant masses for decades. Seems to work for them though.

I hate Magnatec bottles for that. 'Without Magnatec' - shows a surface, god knows where in an engine it's meant to be, that is worse than if you filled your sump with pure sand.
Surprised they can get away with it because it is a complete lie and advertizing gimmick

 

[weasley]

It is a magnified recreation of the surfaces of cam lobes tested in the Seq IVA.

 

[AirgunSavant]

I think since they claim its a 500X picture
But that said they would do better without that.
I do like the oil however.

You can turn the bottles around, and see what they are advertising...

Using the 5w20 version in my hyundai. Didn't notice anything on the 1 quart bottle.
