Don’t shout search! 182 oil advice

[sara182]

could I use 5w 30 fully synthetic mobil one oil in my 182?

I know the advice is to use 5w 40 fully syn

just wondered what the difference was as mobil one is supposed to be good oil and can get a good deal on it...

Let me know

HOW good a deal?

I got like a whole crate of ELF 5w40 for silly money from Debra at Total FINA. Couriered to my door step too!

Made a post today requesting the details.....the numbers on that!

 

[sara182]

but i dont want a whole crate! maybe Ill just pay you for some of yours then when I do my oil change

 

[Dave]

Yeah if you want some Ill supply it dirt cheap I got it!

I looked for this topic using the search function and couldnt find it. Not good changing the topic title like has been done. Bad moderation IMHO.

I noticed that too. The word pointless springs to mind!

Slightly off-topic but the best I could find using the search thingy... I had an oil change at Renault Minute in Portsmouth once and they said they put in normal engine oil as they said synthetic-type oil wasnt necessary. Im pretty sure that was wrong as I have always had Mobil 1 put in in both my std services at my local Renault dealer. Am I right?

IF 40 is the high temperature protection and the engine gets anywhere as hot as a valver or Williams engine I wouldnt put a 30 grade in.

And although asked not for searches, if you do search for any by author oilman you will strike oil so to speak.
