Hi everyone this is my first post to the forums so apologies if this question has been asked many times before.
I recently purchased a Fiat Stilo 1.9 JTD diesel which I think is excellent it's my first ever fiat car in 15 years of motoring and I've been so impressed with it. I have a question regarding the oil it requires though, the owners handbook says the car requires 10w/40 fully synthetic oil or 5w/40 semisynthetic. Now I've never owned a diesel let alone a car that requires fully synthetic oil so hope someone can help.
I went to halfords yesterday to pick up some 10w/40 fully synthetic but they don't stock any brand in that grade they do a 10w/40 part synthetic or a 5w/40 fully synthetic. I wondered if anybody could give me advice where I can buy 10w/40 fully synthetic (without being charged the earth) or tell me if i can put the halfords 5w/40 fully synthetic in or mix with the 10w/40 part synthetic ? The car was serviced just before purchase and I believe they said they put in full synthetic but not sure what grade.
Any help on this would be very useful
Many thanks in advance
