    Well i have used castrol edge for the last 5 oil changes and noticed lifter rattle? 17500 k's now i have gone to magnetic and it has stoped it? now from my study on this oil which is 10w40 what is does is at cold start it is very thin hence the 10 and once the oil get warm it increases viscosity hence the 40

    so it's thin when cold so it gets round the engine faster and once it gets warm it thickens to protect the engine

    mate oils get thin when they are hot and are thicker when there cold. magnatec is not a good idea for the age of your motor.
