Can anyone suggest a good oil for my 4.6l 2000 Vogue(Thor), I've had two different ones recommended:

Castrol Magnatec 10W-40 A3/B4
Castrol Edge 5W-40

The Edge seems to be a higher performance oil, as such costs a lot more at around £50 an oil change, as opposed to around £27 for 4l of the Magnatec

Does anyone have any strong thoughts either way about oil for her? Or a suggested alternative?

Has anyone seen the Edge oil at a better price recently?

hi mate, i went with the Edge 5w/40 in my 03 4.4 V8 BMW engine and it seams good if you go on the castrol website and put in your make and model of your car and it comes up with the recommended oil. You can get 4L of Edge for £39.99 from halfords.

Cheers Matt, that sounds a lot more reasonable
 
Hi i just did my 4.6 today with 10w/40 magnatec, i thought the edge stuff was a bit thin for the Rover engine. £21.56 per 4lt can from Halfords with a trade card!!
 
Go with the standard oil as long as it has the standard requires. I use havoline 10 40 from texaco ( Morrisons supermarket) £15 and change every 6k if your fussy or 10k if not. My engine is a thor with 124k on the clock and inside the engine is clean as a new button.
Expensive does not mean better
 
well i use i.g.a.t 20w-50 for my gems engine,and i replace it every 3500 kms.nothing better than good old mineral oil for a 50 years old engine design,with regular changes.
 
hi i bought the 10w 40 synthetic oil from halfords wich was recommended to me it cost around £22.00 and came with a free pack of superior 8 piece screwdriver boxed set .as far as i know the oil is the one my mechanic uses all the time .hope this helps. another vogue 4.6 thor 0wner ,cheers mozz.

Cheers Mozz,

Was that the Magnatec? I'm planning to change oil every 6k, just coming up to its first oil change since its last service at 72 000. They're expensive beasts, but there's no point paying over the odds for basics, I'm overseas a lot so don't have that good an idea of UK prices.

Many thanks for your help!
 
10w/40 magnatec is £26.99 from halfords if you dont have a trade card, or £22.99 from tesco. Mine runs better with magnatec than it did with 15w/40 mineral oil,it had a slight noise from the tappets on start up from cold, but now its quiet. Also mine is lpg so thought this oil would be better as it sticks to the bores etc.

i use 15w 40 , standard oil dont forget this engine was developed back in the 60s so the oil dont wana be to thin i pay £35 for 25 ltrs from a local supplier, i put it in all 3 of my v8s and change every 5000 miles but every 3000 on the school run range rover because of short journeys , allthough the oil drained from the lpg range rovers comes out nearly as clean as the new going in :)
