Can Anyone Explain The Types Of Oil

[Steve]

Now before anyone says, i have read the oil reccomendations thread.
5w/40 was what i was recommended, haynes says 10w/40 mulitgrade.

Can anyone explain difference between, part synthetic and fully synthetic?
Whats multigrade mean?

I understand about the 5w and the 10w.

The 5w being thinner than the 10w and can circulate better with colder conditions.

My main question is do i want part synthetic or fully synthetic, that oil advice thread is too big to read now lmao :homme:

The better quality oil is fully synthetic. If you really want to spoil your engine then you cant get much better than silkolene pro s 5w-40. Altho a good 10w-40 part synthetic wont do any harm its not as good as a fully synthetic. Pro s made my engine sound so much quieter and it wasnt even due an oil change.

Cheerrs mate, rep'd.

Makro have the castrol stuff on offer, mate got 10w/40 for £17.50 not sure if was fully synthetic like but for 5 litres :homme:
