Ford - Castrol Magnatec 5W-40 OE
Ford / Castrol MAGNATEC Professional OE 5W-40 is a fully synthetic engine oil that offers instant protection for critical engine parts under even the most extreme cold start-up conditions. Designed to meet the requirements of OE (original equipment) manufacturers, this high-performance lubricant supports exceptional performance in automotive gasoline and diesel engines, and remains effective as the engine warms. In fact, MAGNATEC OE 5W-40 dramatically reduces engine wear across a range of temperatures and is resistant to deposit formation, enabling cleaner and more efficient operation.
Castrol MAGNATEC Professional OE 5W-40 delivers superior performance by adhering to metal surfaces and providing an extra layer of protection and lubrication over an extended oil drain interval. For reliable lubrication with minimal maintenance and reapplication requirements, MAGNATEC Professional OE 5W-40 is ideal where a fully synthetic oil is needed and has shown reduced engine wear when tested against the industry-standard Sequence IVA wear test.

Why Choose Castrol?
Ford / Castrol Magnatec OE 5W-40 is a fully synthetic engine oil formulated to deliver superior protection for modern petrol and diesel engines. Designed to meet the requirements of OE manufacturers, it provides dependable performance in vehicles fitted with advanced technologies such as turbochargers, direct injection systems, and catalytic converters. Its 5W-40 viscosity ensures consistent protection across a wide temperature range, making it ideal for drivers who want reliable lubrication in both urban stop-start traffic and high-speed motorway conditions.
At the heart of Castrol Magnatec OE 5W-40 is its intelligent molecule technology, which sets it apart from conventional oils. These intelligent molecules cling to engine components like a magnet and form a self-healing layer that remains in place even after the engine stops. This means vital engine parts are protected from the moment you start up, and protection continues as the engine warms. This approach significantly reduces wear during the critical warm-up period when most engine damage occurs.
By providing instant and continuous protection, Castrol Professional Magnatec OE 5W-40 extends engine life and delivers consistent performance throughout the vehicle’s lifespan. The oil’s advanced formulation also supports engine cleanliness and efficiency. Detergent and dispersant additives help prevent sludge formation, while its thermal stability reduces oxidation and deposits, which keeps internal components cleaner for longer. This not only maintains engine performance but can also improve fuel economy and reduce emissions, particularly in engines designed to meet modern environmental standards.
Castrol Magnatec OE 5W-40 meets or exceeds leading industry and manufacturer specifications, including ACEA A3/B4 and API SN/CF, which means it is compatible with a broad range of vehicles. It is particularly suited to engines that require a high-performance 5W-40 grade oil and offers strong resistance to shear and viscosity breakdown. Drivers benefit from smoother operation, improved responsiveness, and a quieter drive even under demanding conditions.
