March 30, 201312 yr as above just want to make sure before i start oil change is this oil ok to use 4 litres think i need another litre
March 30, 201312 yr 4.5 Ltrs you need. Now I have known people to use Semi Synthetic and its been fine. but would get Fully myself. :D
April 4, 201312 yr Author oohhh :( its a 1994 ..i did check with the staff in halfords and they checked on computer that this is correct oil..should i take it back and change it for the same but fully synthetic just been looking on halfords web site and cant see 10w40 castrol magnatec fully synthetic if anyone has the time to look can they pop a link here showing oil i need from halfords as i am going to return the part synthetic for fully synthetic thanx guys
April 4, 201312 yr This is Castrols own recommendations Edge fully synth 5W-40 or Magnatec 10W-40 A3/B4 http://www.castrol.com/castrol/sectionbodycopy.do?categoryId=9024084&contentId=7073092 Magnatec 10W-40 A3/B4 is part synth You should have no problems with it - as long as the oil meets the recognised standards like API or JASO etc and is the recommended weight it will be fine
April 4, 201312 yr A guy who I bought one of my cars off used Semi, he had 5 Subaru's before the one I bought off him and was fine. I just chose to use fully as I trust it more in my car :)
April 4, 201312 yr Was on another forum and this topic came up apparently part synth is different to semi synth as it is a mixture of fully synth and some semi synth
