Galantspeedz Turbocharged March 16, 2015 Share March 16, 2015 Hi all, Was enquiring with a sponsor if the oil is a fully synthetic due to some promotion going on... I posted the question twice and somehow it got deleted or maybe server problem..... The first time I posted the question, it disappeared.. because I use hp so I have tendency to refresh the screen to see if any reply but it says something like no such link..... so I posted the question the 2nd time and printscreen it..... viola the question disappeared again... Then I went to Castrol website and checked and got the below from their website..... if you are changing Castrol magnatec oil...... please remember to check if it is part syn or fully syn... because if a promotion states synthetic... it may be either semi or fully syn http://magnatec.castrol.com/faqs.html Is Castrol MAGNATEC Synthetic or Part-Synthetic? Castrol MAGNATEC 5W-30 A1 and Castrol MAGNATEC Diesel 5W-40 A3/B4 are fully synthetic formulations providing quicker circulation at extremely cold temperatures and superior performance at high operating temperatures.Castrol MAGNATEC 10W-40 and 15W-40 are both part-synthetic. All grades of Castrol MAGNATEC contain Intelligent Molecules that cling to critical engine parts to instantly protect from the moment you turn the key. For me, I going to avoid any workshop that never answer me if the oil is fully syn and worse if my question really got deleted. I think sgcarmart may want to review on their star merchant criteria Just a heads up guys... ↡ Advertisement 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesc Hypersonic March 16, 2015 Share March 16, 2015 If the oil "sticks" to your engine when you drain to put in new oil some of the old dirty oil will still be stuck to your engine and cannot come out? 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tohto Hypersonic March 16, 2015 Share March 16, 2015 (edited) Why don't just use the Castrol Edge Syntec which is proven to be good.. I am currently using the Castrol Edge Syntec 5W40 Euro formula.. , My car just cross over the 200k km last week...

Furrynadz 5th Gear March 16, 2015 Share March 16, 2015 i ask , also got deleted i think "sgcarmart best workshop" should at least be transparent and not suka suka delete just "cos they pay money" and can do what they want Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forte3737 5th Gear March 16, 2015 Share March 16, 2015 Most of the reviews in sgcarmart are actually "censored" before they are put up for the public to read? Perhaps the mods can clarify since MCF is closely related to sgcarmart? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kangadrool Supersonic March 16, 2015 Share March 16, 2015 (edited) I saw your post on that promotional thread. A rough rule of thumb is, when it's being advertised as synthetic, it means semi-synthetic. You must see the word "fully synthetic" if you are looking for full-synthetic oil. Not sure if deleted or maybe server got problem... but my other postings in other threads still around Edited March 16, 2015 by Kangadrool 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you change at 10k km? Nope. I changed at 10k km. The saving is only about $30 for the oil change at 15k km. So I just change at 10k km lah. The butt feel with new oil is always good ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
