Engine oil help please...

Post by **Donna M** » 14 Jul 2007, 16:00

Just popped round to my local H*****ds to pick up some motor oil for my T25 1.9 petrol water cooled (I'm a newbie - pls forgive...) and was baffled by the selection available - what grade motor oil do you all recommend I use? The (baffling) Halford's guide sid 10W/40 part-synthetic but I'm always wary of home brand products...

TIA...Mark O

Use Castrol GTX high mileage, best not to go for anything synthetic! mineral is better

Whilst you are down at your local GSF (see other thread!) they will have the correct grade for your van 15-40 mineral oil is considered correct for these. By the way we have a technical forum where we usually post questions like these. I will move them over there. (I know your new!

)
