Greetings!

I've recently found "Ford - Castrol Magnatec Professional A5 5W-30" [1].
From my limited understanding, this Castrol product seems appropriate since it meets the required specifications for a non-DPF 4.4 TDV8 (WSS-M2C913-D, C, and earlier), and its characteristics are identical to the product recommended by Castrol Engine and Fluids Finder tool ("Castrol MAGNATEC STOP-START 5W-30 A5" [2]).

It's cheaper (per unit/L) compared to the recommended product, and more convenient since it's sold in 5L jugs, which means that only two of them are enough to feed the beast.

Now, the odd part: the internet says this oil is green! I read somewhere that's how you know it's professional grade. At best, this sounds like marketing mumbo-jumbo, to be honest...

Has anyone used this product before? Any opinions?

I've recently bought a 20L drum of it to use instead of its predecessor Magnatec Professional A5 5W-30 because of its extra wear protection on start-up. I was dissapointed to learn that it's been available for several years.
