so why does the sube manual say 5w30. it also says every 3000miles to change as well. but i hammer mine and do it every 2k, but most cars i've had i did about every 3k.

I recently wanted to top up with the same oil as used by the main dealer during last service.
They said they use Castrol Formula RS 10 -60, which was what I then bought.

But that also begs the question - why ? .. when the manual says 10-40 (or something like)
