Magnatec is only a basic semi synthetic, 100% mineral base. Im not a huge fan to be honest. Dont bother with any oil additives just use a better oil.

That little difference in viscosity is nothing to worry about.

That oil test is a load of rubbish. We get links to that one all the time and the tests they use are completely pointless. They used the Falex test, and if you follow the link below, there is a bit about how incorrect the test is

As you can see, the test shows beer and milk are better lubricants than oil.

Don't use that or any other overpriced rubbish that claims to do miracles in the engine. They are all made of incredibly cheap chemicals that break down in the engine, to produce acidic chlorine based compounds. Part of the way they work is to overcharge for them, so people decide that based on the price, they must be something specail
