5w30 Magnatec fully Synthetic

[jojo]

Anyone used this stuff in their S3's? I've always used 10w40 Semi in my S3, but I have a whole load of magnatec lying around I don't want to waste.

Yes or No?

Thought I'd treat the S3 to an oil change before my track session on Saturday.

I used to use it in mine with no issues but may be a bit thin pending how many miles your motor has done with the hammering I presume your going to give it on the track

I only do 2-3k miles a year max Stace, it's been almost 2 years and 3k miles since my last oil change.

5w-40 seems to be the best people say around here, thick enough that it won't burn but fully synth so works and last better.

Hmmm, I was more interested in the magnetic properties of the oil than the the 5w30 part. Guess I'll just use the standard 10w40 I've been using as before then.

5W40 Millers here found it to be very good

5w-30 will be fine with your S3, if you go onto the Castrol website and type your reg in they will recommend the 5w-30 fully synthetic Castrol edge.
