Review Castrol Magnatec Engine Oil Review. Castrol Magnatec is a fully synthetic oil, made with Intelligent Molecules, the amazing science of Castrol Magnatec.
Science Behind Carstrol Magnatec:
goo.gl/sdCwks
The Story
As a global business, Castrol develops engine oils and lubricants for a vast range of applications and industries - from the car and motorcycle oils to the specialist industrial lubricants we develop for the marine and offshore industries.
Over 80 years, driven by technology, we’ve tested our engine oils in the most extreme situations - from rigorous lab and industry testing to the highly competitive world of motorsports.
Castrol MAGNATEC, one of Castrol’s leading engine oil brands, has been helping motorists protect their car engines for almost 20 years by offering instant protection from the moment you start. The intelligent molecules in Castrol MAGNATEC are specially formulated to cling to critical engine parts, and dramatically reduce engine wear.
Castrol MAGNATEC Molecules
It’s Castrol MAGNATEC’s intelligent molecules that truly set it apart from other engine oils. These ultra-refined molecular components cling to your engine throughout all driving conditions, and even when the engine is off.
When the engine stops, oil drains back to the sump, but Castrol MAGNATEC’s intelligent molecules don’t. They cling to critical engine parts like a magnet, providing an extra layer of protection from the start, and throughout warm-up.

It’s a polar molecule, which makes it stick to metal. Rain-X does the same thing with glass. I use this oil and it works really well.

Castrol Magnatec contains group III base oil - hydrocracked blended with various additives according to the car manufacturer specifications. Castrol put this oil on various markets as a fully synthetic oil but, actually, it is an oil obtained through the HC synthese process. It is not a bad engine oil, but is not fully synthetic. No engine oil manufacturer will publish the concentrations and types of base oils or additives put into an oil, because it is regarded as a company secret, so the only way to find how an engine oil is made of is to put it trough an analysis into a laboratory.

@averyalexander2303 7 жыл бұрын

All that "oil stabilizers" do is make the oil thicker so it seeps past worn rings and valve guides and leaks slower. It just hides the symptoms of a worn out engine. I put it in my Honda that has been knocking for months, the knock got louder and 2 days later it spun a bearing and threw a rod on the highway, I did a motor swap. Not saying it blew up because of the Lucas, the engine was obviously dying, and for all I know it may have blown up the next day without the Lucas. You may not agree with me on that, but if you put in a couple weights thicker oil, you will be much better off, especially in extremely cold weather than using Lucas. Just my opinion.

depending on how it sticks all you need to know is chemistry, a water molecule doesn't lose its bonds in 100 years or even 1,000 years unless acted upon by an outside source. so in a closed enviorment the oil could stay put for any amount of time that type of bond stays stable. so claims of 100 years could be very easy to back up, I could truthfully say my water bottle of water will stay full for 1,000 years even though water bottle have only been around for a few decades.

Hy-per lube oil supplement works the same as this oil, but it's an oil additive. Hyper lube helps the oil cling onto metal surfaces. The good thing about hyper lube is you can add it to your preferred oil. Mostly every car's valvetrain are made with iron components so this Castrol magnetec will cling on the cams, rocker arms etc.

@jimwalsh7088 6 жыл бұрын

I perceive Castrol as a premium quality oil. But maybe that is just a perception. I have never run an engine so long that wear has become evident. I have just replaced the oil in a 2011 Malibu with the 2.4 liter engine with Castrol Maganatec 5W-30, I have not noticed any difference in the way the engine runs and the MPG has gone down, but that is probably because the weather has become colder. Regarding what weight to use, I am not going to second guess a manufacturer mechanical engineer who recommends a specific weight. If the engineers say use SAE 0W-20 oil, that is what I will use. Every owners manual I have read says do NOT use oil additives. So, I stay away from them. Where I don't follow the rules is the oil change interval. The Malibu has an oil life sensor that seems to say "Don't change the oil until you have 10,000 miles on it. I always change the oil when it says there is 50% oil life remaining. Magnets on the oil filter? Has Bundy sawed open his oil filter and found metallic sediment gathered around the location of the magnet? I suspect not. Many of the wear surfaces are aluminum and other non-ferrous metals. Like Bundy, I doubt claims made by advertisers, but I also doubt statements made by non professional mechanics.

Sir, the closed loop vs. open loop has to due with engine operating parameters. Your engine operates on its closed loop maps when you are in typical driving conditions, such as smooth throttle inputs with below 50% throttle angle. It goes open loop when it detects operating conditions outside these parameters such as WOT. The w in the oil is for winter rating and it's best to use what the engine designers recommend. Some engines have very tiny passages when a thinner oil is needed to flow to especially during hard driving. Most oils readily available even in 10 or 15 winter rating are more than capable of handling most cold winters. A thinner oil will also have less parasitic fluid drag on the moving parts of the engine which is in part why you get better mpg assuming consistency in driving habits. On a side note, it isn't necessary with modern cars to let them sit. In actuality what they told you is correct, it is better to drive the car shortly after starting to bring the oil and engine to optimum operating temperature (normal driving, not revving it out) because gasoline being a solvent will dilute the protective oil on the cylinder walls and will also get past sometimes into the crankcase reducing the effectiveness of the oil's ability to lubricate and protect. The engine oil as it reaches its operating temperature will evaporate the gasoline and reduce this damaging dilution effect within the cylinders and crankcase. Nothing wrong in using aluminum or plastic where steel is not necessary. Besides less weight means less work the engine and brakes has to due to move or stop your car from reduced inertia. Also means you'll be faster in all areas of performance if that tickles your fancy. There isn't some large conspiracy between the EPA, governments or auto and oil manufacturers. It just improvements in efficiency and trying to make sure you don't die an early death from air pollution or suffer from acid rain again though I doubt anybody remembers that anymore. I think you went off on a bit of a tangent towards the end, mostly out of mostly harmless ignorance. However nothing that a bit of study wouldn't fix. Overall an interesting video and appreciate the results posted at the end. Cheers.

In my opinion Magnatec is/was no different to most other motor oils. All motor oils adhere (or leave a thin film) on engine parts. Castrol just had the brains to come up with the brilliant name (that was theirs only) which gave people the impression that they had invented something new. Of course you would have to pay more for this new wonder engine oil with these new & amazing abilities even though it was not too much different to most other engine oils. I believe that the Magnatec venture was one of the best advertising campaigns in the history of Motor Oil. Now here we are in 2023 Magnatec is old hat & we have this new & amazing Synthetic oil (with a new & amazing Price too) that does everything better. But this time everyone has jumped on board because no one company can own the name "Synthetic" But I must admit that some of these additives & magic Synthetic mixes that oil companies are flogging off these days do burn cleaner in a diesel. I don't think they lubricate any better than high quality mineral oils, & some definitely don't, but some of them sure do burn cleaner than mineral oils..

So basically no change in mileage. The high one of 23 is an anomaly and that would need to be thrown out. You can get a 2 mpg difference on almost any fill up depending on a few things. Now if it were 23,23,23 over and over, I would say, there is something there. Also fresh oil will always give you better mileage for a tank or two. So not conclusive. I'm like you - skeptical. Next, if you let your car warm up for 5 or 10 minutes every time you take it, your over all mileage is not going to be as good. Lastly, I would follow what the engineers recommend on a vehicle and not follow so called "common sense". What is not known in your assumption is the oil pathways and ports. Some are pretty small and will not allow a heavier viscosity oil to go through as easily or as designed. Otherwise why wouldn't everyone use a straight 50 weight oil in summer and a straight 5 in winter? It all depends on what is engineered into the car. We don't know that and are assuming the professionals are idiots. They may be, but that's a different story. All I know is that cars today are not what they were 30 years ago or 60 years ago when much of the common sense lore developed. I think Castrol is probably a good oil, but is it that much better? If you can go 500,000 on an engine, then great. Your basically wearing the car out and then getting a new one anyway. But by the time you get 500k on a car, you will have replaced the tranny 1 or 2x's and probably want one that is more modern. But maybe not.

I've read from "reviewers" that Magnatec causes engine sludge, and that makes sense to me if you have been using the same oil for too long, not if you strive to keep your engine running on fresh oil according to manual instructions. Now, if Magnatec DOES create _any_ sludge even when changed periodically, *I would like to hear that from someone who can honestly prove it!* I am right now about 90% convinced to use the synthetic blend version of this oil for about 2 years on my trusty, mint Nissan B14 Sentra, which has been using nothing but fresh mineral oil for its entire 60,000-mile life, as far as I know, and then take a look at the internals to see what happened. Any serious comments would be so welcome! Cheers..

I used last month first time, in a 2002 subaru h6, that I previously ran on penrite top synth oil. I have used most brands since 1992 on my cars I service myself. H6 engine I fully resealed , inspected, and used with the best oil I can buy. On a promo, I put magnatec in. A world of difference to smoothness, tickover, and engine acceleration. It pulls better now. Put magnatec in 1997 3.4 toyota with 235k kms. Once again, a big difference. Put in 1999 bmw k1100 motrbike, again, big difference. No oil has ever made such a difference to any engine I have had. I used to work.as car service mechanic, and as engine tester/ fitter in uk on dyno testing prototype engines, for jag, ford, bmw.. 100 year old engine testing company. My opinion is magnatec only.

if its magnetic oil you should put a small magnet on the side of the container and it should stay. I highly doubt it's magnetic. It's just a marketing gimmick. AND when you change the oil, you bring it to the recycling center and it blend in with other used oil. What happens to the molecules then when they reuse the used oil? Does the magnetic material go away? do they stay?

Castrol is clever at marketing their low end oil with no certifications. I would not use any additives, it modifies the viscosity of the oil in use. The best you can do an oil sample in the states, but due to the varied driving conditions, it wouldn't be worthwhile anyway. You might as well use Castrol Edge which has some manufacturer certifications (But I bet they are paid to write those). Change your oil regularly according to manufacturer recommendations and use the stuff they recommend to use, don't complicate things.

@YoungVeteran2023 6 жыл бұрын

Tickover is swiss watch smooth on subaru h6 with 390k kms which I did full engine reseal and refresh at 270k kms. I used to work in engine endurance dyno testing in the uk at a consultancy as engine test tech. I know my stuff. I have built and repaired engines many times, cars, motorbikes, truck diesels. I swear by magnatec now, just on one oil change and have put in all my cars, and advise my friends to.
