oil for my 172

[Lozza-p]

hey guys i need to do an oil change on my 172
ive read that i should use a 5w40 fully synthetic do motor factors sell this or do i have to order it mail style?

is 10w40 magnetec any good for these?

 

[Lozza-p]

is comma stuff any good?

 

[maynard]

never heard of comma.

i use titan fuchs 5w 40 for my 172 as this is what we sell at work. we sell it a work due to the germans using it from the production line = it must be good!

 

[Lozza-p]

comma is what all the motor factors seem to sell must be cheep sh&t.

i work for a swedish company and they use 0w30 and 10w 40 so thats no help

 

[maynard]

doh. 5w 40 is the recommended for the 172 engine.

 

[Fred@BTM]

but you can use 0W40, 5W40 and 10W40 no bother

 

[Lozza-p]

ah cool we got big drums off 0w40 and 10w40 at work my get some of that in there.

is there much point of fully synthetic or a semi better?
