I am about to do an oil change (90,000km) on my LS1 which has always had Mobile 1.
Wondering what people thoughts are on swapping to Castrol Magnetic ?

Mate everyonr has there own prefenence, I used mobil 1 and it was making the worst noise's from the engine so i swithced it back to magnatec and the noise went away.
Some cars like it some don't. Best way is to try and see what you like better....

i am able to get magnetic for free through my work so i might just use it instead of Mobil 1 and just change it more often.

heheee
I got a BP fuel card so i can by a litre of oil each week and get them to put it down as fuel without the bean counters at my work catching onto it. Magnetic is the best oil i can buy from the BP servo's. If i could get Mobil 1 from them i would.
I did this at the 60,000 sevice as my ute was out of warranty and did it myself my dealer always use mobil S I use magnatec as I could no get the mobil S the first thing I noticed was how quite and smooth the engine idled I am going to keep using the castrol, bounes is its a lot cheaper as well
cheers Allan
