Sparky Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Hi all. Just purchased some oil + Filter from my local trade centre. The book for their oil recomended 5w-30. My mate puts 10w-40 in his N/a.. Have they given me the wrong stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Think mine is 10w-40. I'll have to check though. I go through oil pretty quickly so have some around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rory Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Standard recommended oil is 5W30 semi synthetic. I've used 10W40 semi-synth on my last 2 oil changes, Im sure it should be fine but I'm going to use 5W30 semi on my next one. I think the engine is slightly more ticky on 10W40 than when I first got the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missile Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Not sure that i've noticed this. As 10, 40 is thicker i'd think it would be quiter than 5, 30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share Posted September 13, 2007 Thanx for the advise. I did the oil change last night with 5w30 and the car runs well. Idles perfectly and not tappy so im guessing 5w30 is good for it! Did take all 5 litres to fill it up though, I started thinking at one point that i had a leak but nothings leaking so must just love the oil!
