I have 5 litres of 5w/40 fully synthetic & 5 of 10w/40 Magnatec.
My old beast has now done 87K & tends to sit around in the garage a lot.
I'm inclined to go for the Magnatec for this reason.
Any thoughts?

Whenever i have used magnatec on any of my cars it has made the engine rattle like a bag of spanners and if there is a slight hit of an oil drip the magnatec will find it.

It is recomended that you use 5-50 in TVR's. Preferably Mobil 1 but they have stopped making it. I use Valvoline in mine as it was the only 5-50 that i could find in my area.
