Whether its doing any better than the Magnatec that the main dealer used during its warranty period is another matter. Like most things we would only know if fundamentally sound testing was carried out. I am always surprised when the question of oil types and frequency of changing comes up that the key question is not asked. In my opinion it depends on how long you intend to keep the car.
