[Zee09]

Intelligent molecules don't come cheap.

When I see it online at Castrol Oil websites, I'll believe it.
So far, I see no Rapture for those intelligent, clinging molecules.

But I hope you're right Zee! Wemay just poured it's replacement (GTX Synthetic) in his engine. Because Wemay does frequent oil changes, we may have a GTX Synthetic and Magnatec UOA comparison before summer ends.

For all we know, Wemay may have his head looking out his living room window today, watching for the Amazon Prime truck.
We love your contributions here buddy.

Nice. Is it GTL based? I only use GTL based oils like Quaker State.

I knew it. Magnatec has an adjustable molecular sub structure where it allows itself to alter the chemistry of the base oil to suit the owner and engine. That is why it's $45.99 right now.

Old stock?

 

[LenZee]

Did Magnatec ever come in w40 flavor?

What’s the difference from Syntech to Magnatec?

The old syn blend Mag that was the rage here did. I have all kinds of Mag here. Later I can check if the FS was in a 40 flavor

Must be old stock. I bought 4 jugs back in 2022, the last of which is in my van being continually punished by short trips.

Was it SP?

I love me some Castrol

Was it SP?

yup, from my service spreadsheet

I'd say old stock, I just checked the jug that I had leftover from my Civic and it's SP, evidently they discontinued it shortly after the new spec came out. They are doing the same with RGT in that it was way overpriced by the sellers after that one was discontinued as well.

It's old stock. Castrol officially replaced it with the silver bottle Castrol GTX.

Was thinking prior it was possibly a reintroduction

The original Magnatec was great stuff. Probably one of the most consistently quiet running oils I've tried. It was especially noticeable in our KIA at start up, which was notoriously rackety.

Supposedly the silver bottle GTX was it's replacement, but I never got around to trying it. I don't think it had the same magic or it would have caught on here.

That's too bad. It was the only oil synonymous with coming St Paddy's Day & all the intelligent, clinging molecular Leprechauns

Magnatec had quite a Following here. It should be named BITOG's Official Cult Oil. Magnatec Molecules Picture Show will follow.
