So this ere Redex is it a goody or a baddy?
Why do you want to change from what You already use?
If your car is running ok on that, what are you looking for? I have used nothing but Magnatec in the diesel and the KV6. My son used the same in the KV6 before I had it off him. The diesel I bought had around 30.000 miles on it. It now has around 105,000 miles on it. We go abroad, or did until this virus came on the scene, Germany regularly, sometimes twice a year and France.Full boot and mostly four average size people, cruise where possible around 80 mph. Never uses oil between changes every year. So on that basis, I recommend Magnatec oil. On a different tack, when I had my 220sd diesel, we usedDuckhams oil, then changed to Millers oil for diesels, and the difference was palpable. It ran better and was more peppy and smoother. That car also never used any oil. So, you pays your money and take your pick.
