Apologies if this goes twice, having probs with my connection

Do I have this right chaps, would it be a good idea to use a 5W/40 in the winter and a 10/W40 in the summer time?

I know its not strictly necessary but if it helps my engine then i'll give it a whirl

Thanks as ever

I wouldn't bother. Stick with the 10W/40. From your location you don't really have a winter ( or summer for that matter). Remember in places like Turin the difference between summer and winter can be more than 40 degrees.
Is there a difference in the oils? - yes. Will you notice the difference? - well maybe with one eye closed. Change it as per Fiat intervals with the filter and chillax man.

:yeahthat:

Couldn't agree more. Our winters are normally quite mild and rarely require the use of 5w/40 oil in that engine.

8v 10w 40 is right

Thanks guys, 10W40 it is then.

For the record though, last winter we had was a really bad one

Still not worth putting it in for 2-3 months .

I think when the manual says for "cold climate" use it means places like sweden where its consistently -10*c and below for most of their winter.

5W 40 circulates faster when cold than 10W 40. If you can get some cheap then why not summer or winter, but otherwise in UK use 10W 40.
