mattarosa Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Fully synth, 5w30,5w40, but a 5 litre bottle because them you have spare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skezza Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 High mileage? I'd put in 5w40. Lower mileage in the winter you'd get away with 5w30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarosa Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 I did think after I put, mine runs on 5w30 but low mileage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus yours is regularly maintained etc. Can't know the service history on some of the high mile munchers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skezza Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Go for it. 5w30 will do fine until summer, then I suggest 5w40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lupo_ro Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) I think 4 liters are ok. I filled up mine with 3 and a half. (1.0 MPI) Edited January 4, 2016 by lupo_ro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
