10W40 in a S80 T6 ?

[Mark T6]

OK, so Castrol GTX can be had for £10 for four litres at Asda...
Is it OK to use in my S80 T6 ?
I plan to do my own changes now the car is showing 165k, but at 6k intervals.
Feel free to rain down your collective knowledge...

Wait ! Thats not rain.....!

Consider this a heads up....

So, is it suitable considering my cars mileage and future planned frequency of changes...?

10/4 sounds bad to me. what dose your hand book say

[LeeT5]

In an S80 T6 you should be using FULLY SYNTHETIC 5w/30.

I used to use 10w/40 semi in my old 850 T5!!

[Mark T6]

having researched more thoroughly, I fully intend to.
Thanks for your help, mate.
