Is it just a weekend toy? Daily driver or will you be putting it on the track? In summer with hot temps id probably go with a 10w50 but make sure its throughly warmed up before you thrash it.

im using 5-30

personally I wouldn't go below 40 on a turbocharged engine unless you are in a really really cold climate:thinking:

Northern Ireland count as cold? lol
my local motorfactors gave my mrs this

is the oil very thin?

 

[Nickygixer-k5]

It will thin a lot quicker than 40 or 50
So go with either 5w 40 or 10w 50 full syn either millers or fuchs seems to be weapon of choice.

10w 50 or as nr Autosport say 15w 50
