Oil?
I'm looking to get a bit of top up oil. The book says 10w 30, but I've also has 5w 40 recommended. Hoping someone can tell me what's best for the S. The car does have FHSH but it doesn't give the oil used.
Help much appreciated.

Check your last service invoice for the oil used. Typically dealers either use 5W40 or 10W40.
You can buy the recommended 10W30 by Redline Oils from Fluke motorsport, check my sig.

[QUOTE=Dark Blue Mark,Mar 21 2006, 06:14 PM] 5W will give you slightly better cold start protection than 10W.
Personally, I dont think its worth skimping the few
