Both have the specs I look for. So it would be the cheaper of the two.
Which one do you prefer, OP? Why?

Good point Wemay, I like that both are SN+

I'm partial to QSUD due to great price and recent VOAs showing some good moly content.
That being said - I recently purchased a few jugs of Castrol Magnatec when they went on sale on Amazon Days this year for less than $15 a jug shipped.
So if price being equal - flip a coin. You can't go wrong with either .

Indeed no argument there.

QAUD has a Kv100 of about 11.7. Not sure about Magnatec.
Magnatec-it seems to stick to everything! Plus, if it's good enough for the Ecoboost guys, it's good enough for me. QSUD is pretty good too.
I'd probably grab Castrol magnatec. Used it a few time and the engine was noticably quieter. It did seem thicker when pouring it in compare the PP and M1 of the same weight.
I get PP and M1 for $12/jug now with rebate so I don't bother with the other anymore unless there is a clearance sale.

I've seen a lot of Ecoboost guys posting about Magnatec and I'm sure it's a good oil
My experience with QSUD was with my 2012 3.5 Ecoboost
120K miles and zero issues ðŸ‘

Magnatec has a Kv100 of 10.25 vs 11.5 for QSUD, for the thickie fans.

Currently, I'm running both of these in my Chevy trucks.
Both are great. Both are SN+ and Dexos 1 Gen 2 rated.
But in the winter, I run QSUD as I feel Magnatec thickens too much in below-zero weather.

I like the HTHS of the Magnatec, 3.15 last time I checked. Noack of 8.9 is nice too. But looking at QSUD, that is one stout oil too! I'd say use either with confidence.
Both quality oils, I'd use the one most readily available in your area.
Magnatec is hard to find in my area so QSUD would be my choice.

I have not used either one, but if I had to choose one it would be Castrol. Why? It's thicker than most oils out there.
