Description

Castrol MAGNATEC 5W-30 AP is an engine oil from the MAGNATEC line for petrol cars. It is aimed chiefly at Asian and American models whose handbooks call for a 5W-30 oil to American standards.

The oil is rated API SP and ILSAC GF-6. The API SP category includes protection against low-speed pre-ignition (LSPI) in turbocharged direct-injection engines. No European class or car-maker approvals are listed, so it is not intended for engines that require an ACEA-rated oil.

Typical figures: 10.6 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 156, pour point -42 °C, sulphated ash 0.74 %.

Application

Cars with petrol engines, most often Asian and American makes, for which the manufacturer recommends a 5W-30 oil to API SP or ILSAC GF-6.
