Just don't get it. No doubt that it's a good oil and it will get the job done. BUT,
Apparently there is no moly, no sodium, no titanium, and little to no boron, and few of UOA/VOAs. It definitely has weak anti-wear additive pack, at least this is what we have seen from UOAs so far. Just don't understand what makes Magnatec special for some BITOG'ers.
If someone needs a conventional, PYB is cheaper and it has good amount of moly in it, along with several good UOAs. Or if we are talking about semi synthetics, VML is as good as Magnatec, if not better. Also, it is cheaper.
Again, analysis reports don't tell us everything about a oil. Lots of good oils have no moly or boron. Technology is producing better components.
