I feel violated and used :(

I got 3 bottles on sunday at suppercheap...saved myself $60

Don't think it would be a good idea to run this grade of oil in a 2zz. It's remains a little too thick at high temperature for such a high revving engine. (I just read an article on oil grades, etc in from VACC)

[Kevsta]

You're absolutely right. Just checked the lube guide on castrol's web site.

be careful with magnatec too. I've heard bad reports about it from a couple of different mechanics.

[SuperDave]

The oil viscosity chosen depends largely on the temperature of operation. The owner's manual outlines the oil grade for the temperature.

So what grade oil should i be running for sportivo, 10w40 or 0w40?

There's nothing wrong with magnatec. It doesn't belong in certain cars though that's for sure. Mechanics should read the label.

When I had my Sportivo I ran it on nothing but 5W-30 Edge. The recommended oil (the magnatec) was too thick imo.

REPCO having another special again.. but this time ABIT more expensive..
