Silver Streek Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Hi Peeps Was looking through a new Argos mag earlier today, and noticed in the motoring section they sell 5-w30 castrol magnatec oil in 4 liter tubs for £28.99 for petrol engines. Sadly they dont do it for diesels or I'd be straight there to buy some. Thought you petrol engines guys would be interested to know.

pj1985 Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Is Magnatec BMW spec? I know Edge is as thats what most people use and is the same stuff the dealers supply but its labelled SLX or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jags Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Magnatec is not LL01/04. It is designed for Ford Engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan316i Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 5w30 is what we use in my work (Toyota) Mind you, we could match that price, so no great saving! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Mark Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Hmmm my old man builds argos stores wonder if he can get me a discount..... Just FYI Simon Magnatec (every 1000 miles or so) was what I used exclusively on the E34.........genuine oil filters are a tenner from GSF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
