yatesie Occasional Poster Location: Victoria Registered: May 2002	Re: Oil's aint oils.......... Sun, 23 June 2002 16:46 About Magnatec..... From my primative understanding of the oil, it seems to me that it probably going to be no better than another brand oof oil, wiht the same rating (if not worse). My reasoning is as follows.... For the oil to be magnetic, it must contain a metallic and magnetic substance. And for all intents and purposes, this substance would more than likely have to be iron. Now.... most blocks are cast iron... pistons - an aluminium alloy or in some cases steel rings, not sure.. but think a steel of some sort. If however you have a alloy block and you are using magnatec, with its iron content... then common sense says that the oil will wear out you block rather than protect it (being as how iron is harder than and aluminium alloy). Also, the oil will probly strat to wear other parts, sucj as the rings (??) mains, and big ends as those engine componants are softer than steel. Adding to this.... oil finters are designed to take most non fluid particals out o fhte oil, so unless the magnetic componant of the oil is molten (i.e. about 1000 deg.) then the filter will start taking that stuff out of the oil, also with the aid of magnetic pick ups in the filter and drain plug. Anyone got anything to add/take away/ abuse me about?? [Report message to a moderator]
