If you're car is 2005 this oil would seem to me to be overkill as it's for cars with automatic stop/start facility. **Q: Is this suitable for bmw 116i?** A: I have used this brand of oil for several years in my Jaguar car and found it very good. However Jaguar cars must use type A5 BMW cars must use the type C3 as these two types of oil cannot be mixed. As I do not have any experience with BMW cars I cannot make any other comments **Q: Can this be used for Audi A3 diesel 2005 and bmw 3 series diesel 2005?** A: My one is BMW 3 Series petrol. Works well with it.Thanks **Q: Does it suitable vw Passat tdi** A: Yes it is suitable ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Castrol magnate *by G***N on 11 January 2026* Good quality oil ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent oil and price. *by Q***E on 5 November 2023* I always use Castrol MAGNATEC Stop-Start 5W-30 C3 Engine Oil on my Hyundai Tucson diesel, as it meets all specs, I've purchased from this seller 5 times and the price and delivery is excellent, I've read Customer Reviews on here and one in particular that said the date at the side of the container is the expiry date, there is no such thing for synthetic oil, it's the fill date. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ OIL BE THERE FOREVER *by J***Y on 27 February 2026* Excellent delivery Well packaged good price for branded MAGNATEC engine oil FITTED it works well RECOMMENDED SUPPLIER will use again ## Frequently Bought Together - Castrol MAGNATEC Stop-Start 5W-30 C3 Engine Oil 4L - Bosch P9238 Car Oil Filter - Separates Soot and Metal Particles from Engine Oil - Provides Reliable Engine Lubrication --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/49163494-castrol-magnatec-stop-start-5w-30-c3-engine-oil-4l](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/49163494-castrol-magnatec-stop-start-5w-30-c3-engine-oil-4l) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-03*
