sorry - £16.99 delivered for 5ltrs of quantum 5w40 on eBay. Bargain!
Did I read somewhere that 10W40 is actually better for our engines..?
from what ive read 5w30 or 5w40 with 502.00 (regular) or 504.00 (longlife) spec are the choices. i changed to 5w40 to try and counteract how much oil i was needing between changes.
Did using 5w40 make any difference to your oil consumption?
I was thinking of trying 5w40 as well .
Well i changed the oil and i've driven nearly 1500 miles since and i had to top up with the remainder of what was in the bottle the other day (abut 400ml), and the level is on about 3/4's full now. So it's used a bit but it's too early to tell how much better it is....
it feels smoother but that's probably just the fresh oil as it's the first change i've done on it since i bought the car so i need a bit longer to judge really.
400-500ml every 1500 miles seems ok to me from what i've read on these engines.
