I always used Magnatec 10/40 since I bought the car in 2008. Told by the garage I use for my mot’s, for over 30 years, that I could use 5/40 Magnatec C3, as it was virtually the same as what I was using, but did not give out as much pollution. Checked with Castrol, and yes, the test parameters for both are the same, with the same lubricity results from the tests done on both, but less pollution. Don’t forget, our cars are ‘old’ by oil standards, where oil is constantly being ‘updated’ about every 2/3 years. I have done around 3000 miles so far and nothing seems to have changed except turns over easier in the mornings. Will find out about long distance touring when we go to Holland with the club in around 5 weeks time. Abroad usually get around 52 mpg because most of it is on m/ways.
