Made a bit of a cock up and instead of Castrol St90 I got D140 which is a much heavier oil. It's still non EP and GL3 think it would be OK to use?

OP
use 20/50 engine oil
my saying is that any oil is better than no oil.. but if you can try to get the right stuff
however i have heard that folk who have used modern GL5 EP spec oils have never had any problems with it in a panda box..
you got to wonder if the GL3 spec stuff actually works as good as it should.. i have started to question it as talons box seems to be getting slowly worse over time and that has the correct ZC90 stuff in it!
i need to set some cash aside for when it does fail. then i can take it in and just say.. recon this please!
