oil.............again......sorry

[darswold]

would mobil 1 0w40 be okay ?

 

[darswold]

help help help

 

[telford_mike]

Supposed to be 5w40 but I think 0w40 is ok.

 

[darswold]

mike, if its 0w40 does that not mean it will be protected from standstill ?

i really havent got a clue !

how much does my car hold ? just realised ive only bought 4 litres !!!!

what would you recommend !!! helllllllllppppppppp

 

[Ang]

justs MSNd you details

 

[telford_mike]

0w40 is for extreme temperatures like if you live at the north pole. Itll be ok. Think you need 4.5 litres though.

 

[darswold]

ang you are a star but not what im looking for unfortunately........well it is but it isnt, you know what i mean ang ! lol

 

[darswold]

mike, would you put mobil1 in ?

 

[telford_mike]

If I could get it cheap, yes. But I just bought 24 litres of Elf Excellium 5w40. If youve already bought it then use it - itll be fine. Need to find an extra half-litre though.

 

[darswold]

i know, im gonna be a bit short, where did you buy your elf from ?

is mobil1 better than the elf then in your oppinion or the other way round ?

im sounding desperate here arnt i !? ive got my service on thursday, left it a bit last minute and i aint got a clue !!!!

Darswold - I used 0w40 and 5w40 in my 172 in the past.

To be honest - just go to the nearest shell garage and but another litre of what you already have. Job done.

 

[darswold]

si, but what would you do ?

lol

im worried about this 0w and 5w

 

[TheCake]

What have you bought 4litres of so far?

 

[Ang]

he has....mobil 1 0w40

 

[TheCake]

Then go and buy another litre of Mobil 1 0w40...

0w-40 would be fine for a supercar at the Northpole... sticking it in your Renault Clio will be fine

 

[darswold]

yeah but will it be as good or better than this elf stuff ?

sorry lol

 

[telford_mike]

Neither is better to be honest mate - theyre both perferctly fine. Use what youve got like Si said.

 

[TheCake]

Oh father, who art in heaven - save me from Darswold.. PLEASSSEEE!!

Itll be fine. Just fine. In fact the difference between them will be so bloody marginal. I can guarentee youll never notice the difference.

 

[Ang]

yay...peace at last

 

[darswold]

cheers folks, i am now currently looking for 1 litre of mobil1

lol

cheers

 

[Has]

yay well done !!!

just stick it in, u wotn fidn much/any difference tbh

 

[oilman]

Of course you can use 0w-40, it has the same viscosity as 5w-40 at 100degC and flows better when cold.

M1 is a proper pao synthetic and better then the Elf quality wise.
