It will tell you the type (mineral, semi-synthetic or fully synthetic) and viscosity in your handbook. Go for a decent brand, but I don't suppose you'll need to get the most expensive.

Bubba, come on, oil thread. You have to start a viscosity war.
That means fun.
Anyways, doesn't specify type in handbook.

Why does someone come on, ask a question then take no further part?

I'm not answering another thread like this.

He could have gone to bed mate. Maybe he asked the question and is sound asleep dreaming about the replies come morning. Could be a postman or something.

I not heard of a supercharged Scooby myself. Doesn't make much sense when there is a tried and tested turbo route to go down.

Which brand?
You have a 99 UK Turbowagon like mine don't you? My handbook doesn't state brand.

Jap Innovations did a supercharged sport, the cost was pretty high i think, it worked out cheaper to buy a turbo model (that car was on their stand at NBO3)
