I'm getting a tad confused with what engine oil to use guys.
There was no sticker on the slam panel, so thought I'd check the owners manual. The manual states that petrol engines need ACEA A1, and recommended that fully synthetic oil for turbocharged engines. ACEA A3 oil should be used for extreme driving conditions. Viscosity of 0W-30 seems to be confirmed, although my manual does also mention 0W-40.
Haynes on the otherhand does suggest 0W-30 A5/B5 oil type to be used if no sticker with suggested oil type is present in the engine compartment.
Just wondering if I ignore the owners manual and go with what most of you guys, and the Haynes is saying?
