Pretty sure I've got 10/30 in mine. The book is quite lenient really, and I'd say 10/40 would be fine. As long as it's semi-synthetic.

I wouldn't bother with fully synthetic. I know a couple of rally drivers (one with a 2.5l 400BHP 6R4) who uses semi and it runs fine.

I use Mobil 1 0W40 - no noisier or harsher than 10/40.

Same with me.

However if you can EVER get some Mobil SHC USE IT !!!!!

It's a 0Winfinity oil.

They made it BEFORE Mobil 1 out of coal in Germany and it's the dogs bol**cks !!!

According to my dealer use anything that's SG or above and it should be synthetic (petrol engines).
