karm3ll Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Halfords has all sorts of magnatec on offer. I'll be changing the oil soon so I thought I'd get some. The cheapest I've seen in asda was £26 so it's quite a bit cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karm3ll Posted April 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Yeah it is cheaper there but the nearest store to me is like 25 miles away and halfords is local. As much as I don't like using them, they win this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karm3ll Posted April 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 Good to know. I didn't realise they do free delivery. I got the oil already but need few more bits for the service so that might save me a few quid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnsg Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 On the Magnatec which one should we be using, I just generally bought the 5W-30 for petrol engines without looking and seems I have always ended up with the A1. On hotukdeals I saw this (below) and just wondered which would be the the correct one. A3?? ACEA This is the European equivalent of API (US) and is more specific in what the performance of the oil actually is. A = Petrol, B = Diesel and C = Catalyst compatible or low SAPS (Sulphated Ash, Phosphorus and Sulphur). Unlike API the ACEA specs are split into performance/application catagories as follows: A1 Fuel economy petrol A2 Standard performance level (now obsolete) A3 High performance and/or extended drain A4 Reserved for future use in certain direct injection engines A5 Combines A1 fuel economy with A3 performance B1 Fuel economy diesel B2 Standard performance level (now obsolete) B3 High performance and/or extended drain B4 For direct injection car diesel engines B5 Combines B1 fuel economy with B3/B4 performance C1-04 Petrol and Light duty Diesel engines, based on A5/B5-04 low SAPS, two way catalyst compatible. C2-04 Petrol and light duty Diesel engines, based on A5/B5-04 mid SAPS, two way catalyst compatible. C3-04 Petrol and light duty Diesel engines, based on A5/B5-04 mid SAPS, two way catalyst compatible, Higher performance levels due to higher HTHS.
