Default OIL again!
oil needs topped up 500 miles after my service.

used mobil 1 synt s 5w40 in service.

was wondering would mobil 1 15w50 make any difference?

I have reciepts from the old owner and he used motul 300 15w50?

Thanks in advance.

How much needed after 500 miles?

How old is your car?

15W 50 is a bit too thick for my liking, esp for cold starts.

Stick with what you used originally.

a 5W or 10W 40 would be my advice.

I think I'm running about 7.3w40 now as my last service put in 5w40 and I top up with 10w40 I have spare lying around.
