The old which oil is best

Post by mariner »

Have read conflicting views on Scooby forums so thought I'd ask here as value your opinions. Which oil is best for a '96 EJ22. Have some 15-40 and 5-30 (Halfords!) in the garage. I know, should have made a record of this last time I did the oil change. Think my brain is turning to mush!

Thanks Rob. That’s the one I’d already come across that I mentioned. They can’t even agree on what the owner’s manual recommends!

Having read through again, think I’ll go for the 5-30w. Ta.
