I'm sure this query has done the rounds but I have just had my 10k service on my Spec D and I was given the option of semi-synth of fully synth.

I chose the latter and they put in Castrol 10w-60 which, when I checked the manual, was not the recommended grade. They also did not have any 1 litre bottles and so will need to purchase some oil for top up purposes.

Apart from additional fuel consumption and loss of power in running a thicker oil are there any downsides?

It seems to me that the thicker oil will give greater protection to the engine. For a given engine do you need to top up less often than with thinner oil?

In the short term it will have no ill effects, however the use of an oil that is too thick can cause longterm excess wear due to friction.

Usually 5w-40 or 10w-50 synthetic cover all.

Cheers
