well ive read a few threads and im in a state of confused minds what to do. Dont want to put the wrong oil in the car as it'll effect my warrenty.
I've read a few threads on here about oils and what you guys have put in your GP's and see you put 10/40 or 10/30! But my manual states 5/40 and only says it should be synthetic.
So i went it to the fiat dealer to ask for some selenia, for the response. We dont use selenia; we only use shell in our garages and sell planet oil from the parts shop. and when i asked what grade he confirmed 5/40 but said it should be semi synthetic
now whats the difference between semi and fully synthetic. I take it its just how thick the oil is??
and after going round nearly every garage/motorfactors no one supplies the selenia. The only place i could find it was shop4parts. But it was like 50quid delivered for 5litres!
and although my cars only just had its first year service and dosent need a top up atm, i am off to germany in the next few weeks with a 3k+ round trip and want to take oil with me for tops.
i have now ended up with some comma 5/40 fully synthetic (which is made by esso) and has the ACEA A3 and B3/B4 grade that is recommend in the hand book?
is this ok or do i need to hunt down a semi? Which seems in possible to find round here?
