    10W40 in a S80 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.....!

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

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