You can use 0W/40, 5W/40 & 10W/40, mixing any of those will be fine,

Tbh if something catastrophic happened to the dog kennel i'd probably get a sub £1000 T5 estate, plenty of room for the dog and an engine you can get power from without spending a fortune, plus I could park it anywhere and not give a f*ck if it got keyed or dented.

I'm on my second gearbox after the first one shredded itself at 70mph, I learnt the hard way to check the box oil every now and again, it had all leaked out the selector shaft seal, the replacement leaks too but gets topped up every couple of months, thankfully the engine's as strong as an Ox.
