hello,
I am having my 1.4 petrol doblo serviced next week.
The manual recommends 5w40 engine oil however I was wondering as it looks or in for a very cold winter weather 0w40 would be better? Does anyone else use 0w40 in the UK? will it be okay in the summer and motorway driving?

Amazon currently have a good offer on the oil from Castrol, do you think this would be suitable-
amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B002NYDFFS?ie=UTF8&tag=microsift-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B002NYDFFS

thanks

stick to what the manual recomends 5w is fine

Amazon link doesn't work.
Anyway, 0W40 would be Castrol Edge RS 0W40 fully synthetic (one of the best all round oils in the world i.m.o.!!)
I've been using it in our 1,6-16V daily driver since new.

Hi.
I would have no hesitation about using 0w-40 oil. Whether it is cost effective I would not know.
The engine is designed for a light bodied synthetic oil so go for it!

Doblos runs since two years with 0W-40 oil.

First year Mobil1 0W-40
Second year Shell Super Helix 0W-40

I see no problem with 'better' oil.
Engine runs fine and smooth with this and only minimal oil consumption (less 1/2l on 10K miles).

Only the best for this little engine. Doblo runs mainly city traffic.
Cold start even at -15C perfectly.
