KiNK43 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Yeah that's recommended grade. As for brand personal preference. Lots of quality oils out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simpo Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I would stick with 10/40 found others to thin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gel Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Considering your infrequent use and the way you rev the car....I'd recommend a 5/40 quality oil. Most of my journeys are less than 2 or 3 miles therefore I'll also be using 5/40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
