Divinol Syntholight 5W-50...

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

 

[Timmay]

5w 40 excellium FTW

also agreeing with paul which is odd...

 

[D1CKY]

5W40 fully synthetic.

This should def be a sticky, get asked so many times.

5W40 fully synthetic.

This should def be a sticky, get asked so many times.

Along with what air filter/induction kit/exhaust etc etc..

 

[oilman]

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.

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 ?

 

[oilman]

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.

Cheapest is the 5W40 synthetic from the dealers - £26 for 5L - 'Elf Evolution'
