hey there, i have a 1999 TH magna advance, its got 150,000 ks on it, and its due for a oil change. i was told by dandenong mitsubishi (where the car was serviced by the previous owner its whole life) that they where using castrol magnetec, but they didnt tell me what grade of oil. so i thought i would ask, what do you guys recomend?

10W-40, 5W-40, 15W-40 - Can't really go wrong.

Do a search tho, this topic has been beaten to death.

haha thought it might have been, i did a quick search but didnt find much, probly should have tried a bit harder though. thanks for all

HPR 15 Penrite but you can als use the search as this has been covered a million times

RTFM :)

Its in your handbook in the glovebox.

20w50 weight around the $20 mark is more than enough.

Incorrect, also comes in 10-30 and 5-30 its pro grade oil though, is available through supercheap as an order in.

Exact same stuff they put in cars from factory for some models

Well I didn't research the grades of magnatec we could order in but over the shelf its only 10w-40
then again haven't worked there in 4 months so maybe 10w-30 came in but we never had it.





Knew you'd correct me...

Its a non stocked line, infact very very very hard to get as its supposed to be trade only, but because a business wanted 8 drums a week i got it for them

I generally use Castrol Magnatec 10W-40 and have never had any problems.

motul 300v for me

castrol magnatec for my sports and castrol gtx 2 for the tr

GTX2 or GTX3 - whichever is on special LOL

MOBIL 1 for ppl with a new car who want to keep it forever.

re magnatec - an oil that "sticks to the moving parts" just doens sit right with me. I used to be a castol lad, but use shell now.

shell lube match (http://www.shell.com/home/page/au-en/shell_for_businesses/lube_match/app_lubematch.html)

Helix Utra 5W40 here. Expensive but I always argue you get what you pay for...
