Default Oil grades
Just a quick one.

I'm running an '03 GX Sport. Is there a specific grade of oil thats best at just doing all year round work?

On top of that, does anyone have any favourite brands?

As above a good 10w40. I use Motul 300v 15w50 but its a turbo tuned.

If you go for a good company, you shouldnt really have any problems.

Just want to make sure before I go to Helfrauds tomorrow. A good brand 10w40 semi-synth is what to look for?
