movistar Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Changed mine today to 10w40...it must have been 5w30 b4 because iam running a higher oil pressure now right through the rev and temp range...and it actually feels slower:blink:. Has anyone else experienced this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlT67 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 That could also be due to over filling, have you checked the level about 5 minutes after engine shut down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 10W 40 semi synthetic oil for an N/A. I've got Valvoline 5W-40 fully synthetic in mine, should I be worried? H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 The oem oil is 5w30 semi-synthetic for NA and 10w30 semi-synthetic for TT. Unless your car is quite modified im sure that the oem would do. I would always use a 100% synthetic where possible though. I did notice that going from 10w40 back to 10w30 the car feels faster and more responsive and also a little quieter. May all be the placebo effect though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie_b Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Unless your car's significantly modified, either 10w40, 5w40 or 5w30 should be fine for an NA. I use 10w40 semi-synth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
