oil recommendation
hi i did a search but wondered what would be best for my engine as i only travel a few miles and my oil temp doesn,t go from the stop ( 50 deg prosport gauge) by the time i get to work. is there a grade that will warm quicker ( i stay below 2500rpm) cheers j

Probably a 5w 40 if you aren't driving the car hard. The first number is viscosity from cold: So a 5w 40 for e.g, would lubricate better than a 15w 50 from cold.

Not wanting to Hijack this thread, but thought I'd join in, as I will be changing mine soon.
I do lots of short trips, so 5w40 would be best for me then? What make? Also, which filter would be best to use?
