Engine oil Ford-Castrol Magnatec Professional E 5W-20
Content
The result of a century of cooperation between Ford and Castrol is the unique Ford-Castrol Magnatec Professional E 5w-20 oil. The product was developed by the company's engineers, verified by numerous tests at the stand and in the field. Previously, it could only be found at certified Ford service and repair stations. This oil was not allowed to be sold in a retail network, but today it can be bought in almost any specialty store.
Product Description
Castrol Magnatec Professional E 5w20 is a 100% synthetic engine oil specially formulated for modern Ford engines.
Like all products of the "Professional" series, it has undergone double multi-level filtration followed by optical particle size control. It is the first oil in the world to be certified CO2 neutral.
Castrol Magnatec 5w20 Ford oil is produced using the exclusive Smart Molecules technology (intelligent molecules). The essence of the technology is that lubricant molecules, like magnets, are attracted to engine parts and remain there even when the internal combustion engine is not running. The use of lubricant according to this technology does not allow it to drain into the crankcase during parking with the engine turned off, thereby protecting the power unit from lack of oil in the first minutes after starting. Changes made at the molecular level significantly improve the performance of automotive consumables. Thus, the density of the oil film after being included in the composition of Smart Molecules is doubled.
Lubrication provides fuel economy, which has a positive effect on the car owner's wallet and the environment.
Creating a unique product, manufacturers took care of the "classic" additive package. Ford Castrol Magnatec Professional E 5w-20 includes:
- dispersants and detergents that perfectly wash away deposits of ointments and varnishes from the surface of the engine, preventing the formation of new ones; at the same time, all sleep is in the form of a suspension in the oil and does not settle in the oil channels and on the surface of the engine, leaving heat transfer and free lubrication channels at a high level;
- antioxidant additives do not allow the oil to age, allow the product to be used with long service intervals;
- corrosion inhibitors protect the engine from destruction;
- stabilizers retain product characteristics even at high temperatures and extreme engine loads;
- anti-wear additives prevent scuffing and keep the engine looking new and powerful.
In addition to those listed, defoamers, emulsifiers and many other compounds have been added to the oil to help Castrol products always stay on top.
A distinctive feature of Castrol Professional E 5w20 is the green color of the substance and the characteristic glow in the ultraviolet.

How 5w20 stands for
Castrol Magnatec Ford oil has a viscosity of 5w20. He says that the oil is all-weather and can be used both in winter and in summer. Operating temperature range from -350С to +200С. These figures will not be a clear limit, since the pour point of the lubricant is -450C, and the flash point is +2100C.
The "summer" viscosity has been specially reduced to provide better pumpability through the system and more pronounced energy-saving characteristics. However, due to its excellent shear stability, the product will not lose its properties even at extremely high temperatures and very difficult operating conditions.
Advantages and disadvantages
The main disadvantage of Castrol Magnatec Professional E 5w 20 oil is its high cost, also due to its exclusivity. From all other points of view, it shows only excellent properties:
- excellent shear stability;
- the possibility of all-weather use;
- saving fuel consumption;
