I’m not 100% sure about oil comparisons but I’d say it’s be a safe bet using like for like if you’re talking about weights.

Think the Atom 3 supercharged takes about 3 gallons of coolant. NA cars are less, about 2.5 gallons I think. I don’t know everyone’s preference for coolant, but Honda approved coolant you can’t really go wrong with if you’re fussy. If you’re in doubt a quick call to Ariel and they will easily give you their recommendation 👍🏼

Whilst we are on fluids. Is there an Atom 3 owners preference when it comes to coolant? Thanks

Sorry I meant is the Motul Synergie 6100+ the equivalent of the Castrol Magnatec?

6100 Synergie+ is by Motul 👍🏼

Thank you. I am assuming that the Motul equivalent is 6100 Synergie+ ?

Hi, now I am completely confused. I have only had my Atom 3 since April. I have no idea which oil is already in the car and do need to do a top up.

I understand that Ariel used to recommend Castrol Magnatec 10W 40 but there are 2 types A/B and A3/B4. I plan to switch over to Motul when I change oil if that is what Ariel now recommend. But which Castrol should I choose?

MTIA, Raife

That’s what comes in the Atom service kit 👍🏼
Which is also a semi synthetic as mentioned above….

Remember that on the 3.5R Ariel was recommanding CASTROL Edge Titanium FST 10W60.
Now ARIEL is working with MOTUL (it's what i use since 2004 in my Atoms) , very good choice, and in the 300V range, all will be good in the range from 5-10-15W 50-60. All full synthetics of course. Do not look for economy on oil, this is always a loose game.

Thank you John.
Nonconforming information on their homepage IMO. Any of the three different Magntec 10W40 shows "part synthetic" in the "type" description.

Anyhow, Ariel now recommend Motul !

Extract from that web link suggests they also offer Magnatec as fully synthetic .. ?
