Engine Oil

Having spoken to several different people I am non the wiser.

As per usual, everybody has there own ideas on the most effective oil to use.

Bearing in mind the engine isn't the most advanced piece of kit on the planet, I can't see the benefit of buying extremely expensive brands.

Some run full synthetic, most run semi-synthetic. Some run standard oil. All seem to be of the opinion that 10W/40 is the must.

I always ran a standard 10W/40 standard GM oil and then several people at the last round said that they seemed to find that this Castrol Magnitec 10W/40 semi-synthetic is the nuts.......

I know there are good and bad oils, but can it really make that much of a difference. I understand about the thinning of theoil as it gets hotter etc, but what does everyone else run??????

I thought I might try this Magnitec stuff going off the good reviews it's getting.
