10w-40 engine oil vtr
my oil in my 2000 vtr needs topping up so went to halfords and they said I would need the 10w-40 oil, just making sure this is correct before putting it in my car later?
Many thanks

I got the part synthetic one cause the bloke in halfords said that's what I needed. What's the difference?

You want 5w40 if getting fully synthetic. Ive not seen 10w40 fully syn before, most of that grade is semi-synthetic..
Id just top up with 10w40, then maybe think about fully synthetic next oil change?
