some people like Magnatec I had a bad experience with it and don't use it.
Hi Michael,I have been using Magnatec in my petrol cars for a while now (The Getz, Elantra, and now the wife's tiida)So I'd be interested to know about your bad experience (By PM if you don't want to be sued by Catrol .. would be fine)No hurry either (I imagine you are still grieving about the damage to your collection... )
Hi,The right oil is only half the job, you must use a good Oil Filter as well like AMSOIL Ea Oil Filters (EaO). They are guaranteed for 25,000 miles or one year. The new Australian Distributors are:-http://www.enginecare.com.au/amsoil-pg8330.htmlHope it helps.Greg
My friends and I all use Castrol Edge 5-30. It's fairly expensive, but a fully synthetic oil.
How do you see that point of view?
Hi Michael.... I will keep those experiences in mind.. Might try something else in the wife's Tiida from now on... P.S. I really admire your fortitude with your hail damage.. Very admirable how you are coping ...
QuoteHow do you see that point of view?Dazz, I really don't see any issues when using a product that's far superior to the manufacturers product. It can only improve the oil filtration and prolong the life of the engine, which I think is a good thing. No??Greg
May I add, the way you are coping with the issues... The Hail Stones weren't the only balls as big as cricket balls !As Dazz said, admirable mate. I'd have fallen apart if only one car got only one dent !
My dealer used Shell Helix 5W30.
was wondering about the 'genuine parts' vs any brand of suitable oil you put in it. seems a bit of a contradiction really
