Have a read of this

Sounds like a regular dino oil with a lot of moly in it. I've never seen it or heard about it here in the states. I'll do some searching and see what info is out there. Thanks for the link.

EDIT: Here's a pdf with more info about Magnatec: http://www.castrol.com.au/products/p...20Magnatec.pdf

EDIT 2: From the little info I can find on it, Magantec appears to be a semi-synthetic oil. The specs look OK for what it is. I haven't seen enough detail to know if there's moly in it. It is ACEA A3/B3 approved so that makes it safe for extended drain intervals. Sounds like a decent, if somewhat unexceptional, oil compared to the number of high quality full synthetic products that are available.
