Just saw halfords has Castrol Magnatec 5W30 Oil 4 Litre for £17.50, time to stock up if this is what you use. (sorry if someones already posted about this.)

I think I remember there was an issue with Magnatec in the 1.8 K-Series !

A lot of people complained of a noise at higher revs.

I tend to use Mobil 1 or Valvolene.

The correct spec for my ZTT 2.5 V6 is 10w/40 so not much use to me!!

I have reserved 2 x 4ltr bottles but dont have to get, when you do a search for best oil you get so many different opinions. Some are saying 10-40 and that the 0-to whatever spec oils are too thin so if there is a definitive answer I`ll buy that for my 1st oil change since I`ve had the Rover (I do very low miles) I know I`m going to get shouted at by the every 6 months no matter what milage brigade now LOL.

I note that Halfords are also selling the Castrol Magnatec 10W40 A3 B4 Oil 4 Litre this should be ok for the cars or am i completely wrong what would be your opinions if any this is a very good price for a supposed quality oil Arctic.
