Anyone know if Total Quartz 9000 5w40 is any good for the Punto mk2? Found some at a good price compared to the Castrol 10w40 I've used previously - just want to check it's not known for gumming up engines or anything?

10 or 15/40 semi synthetic. So, why bother with something more expensive? Halfords or Lucas (American stuff that a lot of factors now stock) will be just fine and have the right viscosity. Around £16 a can.
The higher figure is the one to "worry" about. 5W means its thinner when cold than 10W so better in the North, but it general use the car will be the same. 5 or 10 - 50 would be better as its thicker when hot but also much more costly.
