Castrol MAGNATEC 10W-40 A/B is a part-synthetic engine oil developed to protect critical engine components from wear during start-up, warm-up and normal driving. Castrol's MAGNATEC formulation is designed to cling to important engine surfaces and maintain a protective barrier where wear can occur.
The 4-litre pack is particularly useful for routine servicing of many older petrol engines, including Mazda MX-5 Mk1 / NA and Mk2 / NB models where SAE 10W-40 ACEA A3/B4 oil is appropriate.
