If it's the 3.0 it wants 5w30.

It's the 30 bit as well m8, the 3.0 demands 5w30, but the 3.1 recommendation is a 10w40 or a 15w40, for this country anyway. You are getting a bit thin in a 3.1.

| it probably won`t do any harm to the engine but it will certainly make you poorer |

heres my way of thinking...................5w 30
its horrible weather at the moment very cold sometimes freezing
the troop does 4 miles in a morning and 4 miles at night generally thats it
the fuel efficiancy is *beep*!! but i dont care i know itll get me to work and back every day whatever the weather
because its soooo cold and doesnt get chance to properly warm up i think the thin oil is good and its only gonna stay in there 6 months so about april it will be changed with a thicker grade then back to thin for the winter |
