My understanding was you were better off using the long life oil in the standard annual service at it offered the engine more protection?

To be fair I have also heard this.

Be very interested to see people's responses. Especially as I have a brand new bottle of castrol Edge 5w-30 in my cupboard!

Ive also heard that if your just topping up with a little oil between services it doesn't matter if you use 5w-40 or 5w-30. Is this the case? Cheers
