5w-30 or 5w-40
« on: 24 October 2009, 22:52 »
which oil as i've had a look no one can state what is really better (imagine the 5w30 is more eco friendl due to less viscosity). But then again I heard climatic temperture affects the oil and can cause more sludge to develop if incorrect oil used etc...

Many thanks in advance

really depends what your putting it in,      5w-30 wouldn't go well in a 200k mk2  but be right for later cars
