I've been reading posts and getting conflicting information on oil. Cars done 12k and having a service so want to know if this is any good?

Cheers,

That oil will be fine m8 although just giving you and answer runs the risk of starting another debate.

Nope, not a good one to use, minimum 5w when cold, you can use a 10w40 a 5w40 a 15w50 etc, they even say a 5w30 fully synth if you want to run that.

I would stick to the manufacturers recommendation in the book - I see no reason to change from that unless the car is heavily modified or used in extreme temperatures.

My book says 5w30 matched by the recommendation on the Mobil1 site:

Here's a quick guide (can you telll I've been reading up about oil recently!)
