Review: Great oil great price. - I'm doing a filter every 4-5k and oil every 8 or every other filter and this oil still passes my experience testing. I look at the color and feel it between my fingers . I have worked on European vehicles for over 20 years and was looking for a good high mileage maintenance oil that I could go above the typical 5-7k range . I wanted to see if I could double the intervals and so far so good I switched from motul to this in my daily family cars (nothing beats motul imo in tourtured sports/performance cars) I am saving money and getting a longer interval with no losses that I can detect in my not so sciency testing . So much so that I would like project farm to test this oil. The price I pay is slightly above desertcart basics Wich ive read is a fantastic oil but this is working so I didn't want to gamble Review: Great oil for the price. Helps ALOT on cold starts - I am the type of guy who normally uses the top of the line oil like royal purple (40$-50$ for 5 Quarts). I recently started using this oil in my 04 Silverado with 210,000 miles. I've never had any engine issues whatsoever on my L59 5.3. I wanted to try this oil because first off, I was tired of spending well over $60 for 6 quarts of royal purple and a filter and I wanted to see if the "Magnatec" was just a gimmick or a thing these days (most products are with engine products). I have to say the oil definitely keeps the top end of the motor quiet with lifter noise on startup, especially in the winter which is what I wanted. Will continue to use this as the oil seems to hang around in the critical parts when the motor isn't running. With that being said, I have never had to tear down the motor and dont plan on it, so it is difficult to truly tell. Update as of 10/5/18: Getting ready to drain this out of my motor as it is time for an oil change. Dipstick and oil coloration still looks new even at 215,000 miles. This oil still helps on those cold starts where I used to get some lifter noise. Have not heard it since using this. ## Features - ATTENTION: Castrol GTX Magnatec will be transitioning to a brand NEW Castrol product, GTX Full Synthetic, on January 1st 2022. - Dramatically reduce engine wear - Leave critical engine parts 4X smoother.

How can that leak? It can't.. Also, the date code on this jug was new oil, 120th day of 2020, so end of april beginning of may of production. Today it's august, so about 4months.. not bad. Now.. onto the oil. I've been using it in my civic (1996) for a couple years now. I've had the oil tested by blackstone and it's tested out to be awesome! No wearing, and I actually forgot to change my oil for about a year! I did not mean to do that, but had a personal issues take my concentration. But.. usually I only do 4-6 months intervals. so the testing after 1 year showed the same exact low wear that I have seen at the 6month mark! It does make the engine more quiet. I'd say about 10-15%! The fuel economy has increased in my engine or I should say it returned to what it should be. It does not burn off at all. this is excellent oil! Good job Castrol! And thanks to amazon to have the lowest price around and delivered in 2 days!
