My Stilo drinks oil - which is another story.
Anyway - I am wondering is unipart 10W40 motor oil ok for the 1.6 engine before I start using it as it is very reasonably priced.
The oil states it is suitable for petrol and diesel engines and meets or exceeds API SL/CF ACEA A3/B3/B4 VW 500 00 VW505 00.
The stilo manual states to use oil that pass ACEA A3-96, CCMC G5 and API SJ.
So my question is does this oil suit the requirment outlined in the guide and should I use it?
The reason i don't use Castrol etc is because I have to top up 1 litre or so a month (800 miles) and got peed of with paying the price for top branded oil.
the car has done 90,000 BTW
