[Ian jones]

5 litres isn't enough for a change. What oil is in it? I'm not a big fan of mixing oils, so I would see if you can get another couple.

Not certain about the standards, but the 5-30 is the correct stuff.

The book says:

Use a 0W/30, 5W/30, 5W/40, 5W/50, 10W/30, 10W/40, or 10W/60 oil meeting specification ACEA: A3 and B3, and having a viscosity band recommended for the temperature range of your locality.

all depends on the air temperature the vehicle of where it is operating at

0w/05 would be Antarctic and 10w/60 the desert with 130f temp

It's a reputable brand - the right viscosity/grade and it's for extended drain intervals on euro 4 engines.

I'd use it without hesitation.

If you can't get any more I would just add any other brand of fully synthetic 5w-30 that had A3/B3 on the container.

I guess that's why they added "viscosity band recommended for the temperature range of your locality."

Thanks for that chaps , I use motaquip MXQ 5w/40 fully synthetic , every 6 months , so for the next change i will do what sing advised and buy a litre of 5w/30 fully synthetic oil , it was the ACEA E7/E4 that made me ask the question

how many miles will it be?

Hi , dont do a lot of miles , but mostly cold starts and short journeys , the cars nearing 65,000 , i do 3,000 miles in the 6 months , more or less , but every car i have owned , the oil has been changed every 6 months !

 

[Kizzeh]

i wish i did your mileage

It'll be fine - its not a Ferrari!

 

[Freelaner]

why not just use the recommended oil?
