A good quality 10W40.

Something like Mobil Super S or Castrol Magnatec

2.7 Litres including filter

I have changed to Castrol Magnatec, it's a little more cost but since I've started using it after getting the car I have not had any smoke issues.

Silkolene pro s. Expensive at £50 for 4 litres, but then again it's got a job to do and I never could understnd people that spend thousands on a car then use the cheapest crap oil possible to save a few quid:confused:

So there is no problem to use 10w40 in stead off 10w30?

You will struggle to find any range of 10W 30 oil in the UK, its not a grade that is normally used, Don't forget Japan does have a completely differant climate to the UK.

As you can see from the chart below 10W 40 covers the same range as 10W30.

After a thousans kms or so of fairly quick driving, my dipstick now shows about halfway. I'm wondering about some oil additive rather than topping up with 10W-40 at this point/ Does anyone use any additive, or have you found any benefit in using aomething? I'd say that my car has low-normal consumption, no smoke, etc.
