240 General: - Engine oil

Hi all,

The barge got through it's MOT (1 engine mount needed and a few advisories)

I think he now deserves a service

The manual recommends 10w/30, but this seems quite rare

what do you recommend? Halfords search comes up with 10w/40

It's a 1992 240 2.0

Thanks

Mart

I use a 10 / 40 semi synthetic, Comma from memory. You can do a search online with Comma, Castrol or other oil companies

Incidentally. I noticed on Thursday that ASDA are running their occasional Castrol promotion.

GTX 10w40 semi synthetic at £13 for 4 litres.

Their GTX 15w40 and their Magnetic are also both reduced.
