Key benefits

• ACEA C2: a low-SAPS, fuel-economy specification that is safe for petrol and diesel particulate filters, typical of Peugeot, Citroën, Fiat and Toyota requirements.
• ACEA C3: a low-SAPS specification that protects diesel particulate filters and catalysts while keeping a higher film strength, used by BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen Group and GM.
• API SP: the current API petrol engine category, with added protection against low-speed pre-ignition in turbocharged engines.

Frequently asked questions

Is Castrol Magnatec (C3) 5W-30 right for my car?

Look in your handbook or on the oil filler cap for the specification codes listed above, such as BMW Longlife-04. If your vehicle lists one of them, this oil meets the requirement. If you are unsure, send us your registration number and we will confirm the correct grade.

What does 5W-30 mean?

The first number (5W) describes how easily the oil flows when cold, so a lower number means easier cold starts. The second number describes the oil's thickness at normal running temperature. Always use the grade your manufacturer specifies.

How much oil will I need?

Most petrol and diesel cars take between 4 and 6 litres for a full oil change, so a 1L pack is ideal for top-ups between services. Check your handbook for the exact capacity including the filter.
