As I've not had the car long and not done many miles in it, I've not had to put any oil in the car as yet. I've seen threads on this, but I haven't got the time/patience to look, so please can I ask which grade I should be using please?

Generally, not very hard. Occasionally, I drive in a sporty manner, and then sometimes Daza likes to have a blast in it too. Could I get away with 5w40 fully synth., as I buy that in bulk for the oil guzzling wife's Alfa!
course mate
As above all day long thats what they used when new and thats whats still recomended.
Obviously driven hard, adjust the oil changes from 6k to 3k with a good oil filter to.
halfords are doing 5/30 magnetec in next couple of days for £17.50 for 4 litres. only on for about 5 days. stock up!

I bought this last time it was on special, good stuff imo.
