EgunMogaji2: I see.
Mobil1 is a good oil no doubt t but it's not the end of it all.
In my car racing circle it's looked down upon. You have class leading oils like Lucas, Motul and others.
I use M1 because it's cheap and available at Walmart but I wouldn't 't go on a full throated defense of it because I know there are certainly better boutique oils.
I wouldn't put STP filter or any Castrol oil in my enemies lawnmower.
I use K&N filters as appropriate. There's another brand ion filter I use form Pep Boys that is a ProLine.
People should just read their manuals, buy locally available oil and use a filter with good anti drain back valve. Decide on a good OCI based on the conditions. Is the Castrol gtx Magnatec for racing.. The Nigerians that are buying are they buying it for racing purposes... it exceeds the API standard and it is good for 5k to 7k oil change. Where u dey race go self.. Are u a formula 1 driver

Advocatesam: Can this 5w30 be used to service 2010 Honda Accord against the recommended 5w20 Have used a 5w30 instead of 5w20. Because I didn't have 5w20 at the time.. And on my next oil change I switch back to 5w20. And nothing happened to my car .... It should be fine ,but I advice people to always follow manual recommendation.. 2010 Honda accord engine no be joke ,very expensive o.. But I do have 5w20 Mobil 1 extended performance.. Perfect for your 2010 Honda accord. For 17k naira

Your Radauto sells sTP products, carquest carries some of their products like engine oil , Aft, coolant etc .. But not good enough to make good high end oil filters

ascendo: Its not false advert... its like a HYBRID. Just like combining the features of the two ranges (GTX and Magnatec) in a single product. Thats just the secret.
GTX has its strength in fighting SLUDGE while magnatec has intelligent molecules as its strength. These clings on the bodies to be lubricated even when the engine is off for a long time. Thus, at the first motion of your engine mechanisms, there is protection from the start. So you agree that gtx magnatec (USA,) is better than your Magnatec ? |

You telling me Magnatec stands out. ....on the European label your 5w30 says Magnatec and the USA label it says GTX Magnatec ..what is the difference bro ... abi na just labeling or false advert ..or because the gtx magnatec exceeds or has better protection than Magnatec ....
