Hi All, I’m new to the site and can’t believe I haven’t joined sooner, lots of interesting threads, I was wondering the difference between oil specifications, back in the summer I changed my engine oil and Halfords had a good deal on Castrol Magnatec 5/30 it said on the back it was suitable for Ford and Landrover engines so I bought a load and used it, not sure if it’s paranoia but the engine does seem to be running a bit louder so I did some research and it isn’t the exact spec Landrover recommend, so I’ve now found the exact spec oil and have ordered some, I was wondering does anyone know how much difference there will be between these two oils and the effect it might of had on damaging my engine, they’re both 5/30 they’re both fully synthetic, would a few months running around on Castrol Magnatec have done any lasting damage to my engine, I’d be grateful for views thanks
