    Mobil 1 v Castrol Magnetic

    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....
    Anyone seen my cookie monster!

    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.

    Naughts,

    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.
