Hi again, Thanks for all the info and great help.I'm about to start a full service with belts, etc. What type and grade of oil should I use on 1.5 model? The book says 10W/30! Cheers raceboy400 #88 |

No such thing in the UK: use 10W-40. I'm told by a local dealer that's what they use. M |

Amsoil make a very high spec synthetic oil of 10W30 viscosity. Demon tweeks and a few special places sell it, its not cheap though at 30 quid a 5 litre tub. This oil is prob overkill though, get some halfords own brand semi synth 10W40 and just change it fairly often, or any other brand semi with good specs. I would only use Amsoil in 300bhp turbo cars where the oil is more important. |

I'm dropping to Castrol GTX Magnetic this year from Castrol RS. RS is OTT really in my opinion - especially as I've got an oil leak thats leaking my £35 a bottle of oil somewhere  Another reason is that you can get Magnetec in any old petrol or service station - just in case!
