Hell i even replace things sumtimes that dont really need it, but its all relivant.
recomended oil i guess is a 5w-40 but i always let her warm up before i drive her anyway so is there much difference? 10% of engine wear occuring in the first 10-15 mins but shes stood still anyways!!

Engine wear at cold start is 90% not 10% and yes 5w-40 is better for cold start than 10w or 15w etc
