Default Oil

Search is buggered for me.
The FAQ for oil tells me what to use to run in but not to use afterwards.

Do I just need some 10w40 fully synthetic from a decent brand?

Is it for top up or an oil change?

What's int here atm?

There's no real right or wrong, but my advice would be a named brand fully synth 5w40 or 10w40, or Castrol magnatec if you don't track the car.

It's for a top up.
No idea exactly what's in there - but I know I can mix oil types.

10w40. Thanks, that's all I needed to know.

All oils mix, so whatever you top up with will be fine.

If you dont know what is in there then 10w-40 semi or full synthetic will be fine, if you want to go better top up with 5w-40 synthetic.

Cheers
