M mattjk Feb 27, 2008 #13 In-excess 5-40w £13 for a gallon, do a change every 6000 in my opinion ebtter than changing 12000 on the better oils.

O oilman Feb 28, 2008 #17 Yep, 5w-40 or 0w-40 full synthetic as the quality choice, as a real cost option you can use 10w-40 semi. Everyone has their own opinon on brand and some are much better than others. If you stick with a well known brand 5w-40 you cannot go wrong. Cheers Guy.

D1CKY Feb 29, 2008 #18 What would happen if you used 10w40 semi synthetic ? Is it a case of just not as much protection as fully synthetic ? :S What are the pros and cons of running semi synthetic ? And fully synthetic ?

O oilman Feb 29, 2008 #19 Nothing will happen. Synthetics last longer and protect better while they are in there over the mineral based oils. If you go semi synthetic change it on a more regular basis. Cheers Guy.
