Is that really THAT high mileage? 9.5k a year/ ave.

I'd stick with OE spec FWIW. My Ph2 is on 88k and it's still sweet.

Whats the OE type? LOL!

Id say 5/40 is fine.

OE is 5/40 for all climates.

Fully synthetic 5/40 aint it?

Fully synthetic 5/40 aint it?

Sounds about right.

What brand should i use? Euro car parts have 5L Carlube FS 5/40w for £18 or Valvoline for £36

Where do you get your oil from? I have bought fully synth 5/40 from Halfords. I know it's not their oil and I think it's a premium brand in a different bottle but can't remember which. Price is reasonable from them and I haven't had any problems.

That's not high miles I'm on 90k and she still runs as sweet as. I bought elf oil from Renault for mine 5/40w 5L £38.
