o an here is a tip, MER !
i use it occasionally when i run out of polish as my dad really likes it
but, you can add a capful to your water when shampoon the car and it does wonders
its good, only thing is that your car has to be COMPLETELY dry, it doesnt like water one bit, its worse than the bloody Auto Glym for that
also, how do you do it, cos it says not to let it dry, do you just wipe it around, leave for a minute then try an buff off, thats what i did
it will go in nicely, but its thicker
my car was made in 1992 and has covered 82k.........and i have used a 10W-50
yours is brand new, you need an oil that can get into the very small gaps in your engine, i dont as mine will have larger gaps, older engine, more miles, old technology
if...
as you seem to be sure you have 15-40 in at the moment, id go with the Magnatec
however, you should put that high a grade in your car some change time

if your toppin up....Magnatec dont do a 5W 40 as far as i know, but Castrol do an RS 0W-40 which would be fine so use a litre of that, or Mobil 1 0W-40
if your doin a full change then definitely go with the Silkolene, i promise you wont use any other oil once u try it
o an forget the Elf hunt, its very hard to get hold of, i had to have some Total(same company) i wanted shipped from France, which is the 7L i have here, its racing spec oil, but i tried Silkolene and now i wont use anythin but that
suppliers are on the silkolene website
please please try it, you will never look back, i loved Mobil 1 until i tried this, and now ill never use anythin else
ive got 7L of 10W-50 oil unopended here, but because it aint Silkolene i bought some when i needed the change
its red too which...
