1/2 Price Castrol Magnatec at Tesco

**Marc 100** · 15th June 2011, 14:47

Tesco have got the GM LL approved 5W/30 Magnatec fully synth on at £8.50 for two litres. Just picked up three for my next service.

They've also got 10W/40 semi synth Magnatec as well as some even cheaper GTX.

Hopefully it's on in Scotland, will be doing a change along with my tb. Would need 6 litres wouldn't I?

What you never checked it before this?

Curtains for your engine.

He'll presumably mean the oil can symbol which means a service is due.

Or the low oil level warning light, not the low oil pressure light.

£17 for four litres, the VX oil is pretty much the same price

I can't find the oil capacity on the 3.2, but won't be far different from the Y30DT so will be near to 7 litres
Either way, you will need 2 four litre bottles or 4 two litre bottles
