The latest edition of Car Mechanics magazine just dropped through my letterbox yesterday. Opened to the first page to see what the editorial page had to tell me and immediately was impressed by the whole page advert from Castrol for their "new" - even says "new" on the tin - Magnatec. Here's their website advert for it:
https://www.castrol.com/en_gb/unite...ation/engine-oil-brands/castrol-magnatec.html
I've seen them making claims for Magnatec before in relation to this "sticky" feature but never so blatantly as this. 50% reduction in wear? Really? Compared to what? is the question which immediately leaps into my mind. Oh, and I see they are doing it in 4 litre containers, a trend which is beginning to be adopted by some others too and annoys me.
Interestingly, perhaps, when I feed the Ibiza's details into their oil search it recommends their EDGE 5W-30LL with two other EDGE products as second choices. The Ibiza is stop/start, wonder why they don't recommend this new "miracle" product? Hold on though, they do recommend it for Becky our Panda! Anyone got any opinions or comments?
