Sorry guys I am going to have to agree with Teady and Goldy.
This site has become a little hostile lately.

I was actually saying to Stuman the same thing the other day.
Just chill. Everyone is entitled to...
Do worry m8 I had to look deeply into what oil I was going to use and did a little bit of studying.
The 0w40 might make the engine a little noisy cause its so thing when it is cold.
I would go for the 5w40 over the 5w30 just simply cause it is a touch better at higher temps - suppose not...

Basically
Because our weather in england doesnt go to extremes eg. -20c to say 50c
The lower the first number the lower down the oil protects at extreme temp and the higher the upper number the high temps it can work at.

The oil is Carlube.

GP,
I can get about 350 - 400 miles out of a tank. This is done by driving up to York and back from Essex only htting 70mph and a light foot
Bloody hard though as you have t***s driving past you in Nova you just want to toast.
I found I have to reset the computer evertime I travel to get an accurate reading. I dont know if everyone elses is the same.
BTW the tank is shapped like a bear bottle so the first 1/2 is really quick to go.
