Hello newbie here, just been pointed to your site by a good friend of mine.
Well I have just bought a Seicento 1.1sx on a Y plate the other day as a small second car. I think I got a cracking deal as the car has 20K miles on it when I bought it and we paid £1950 with 4 month left on the original Fiat warranty. The car is mint with a full service history.
Now here are my questions : I want to put some different oil in the car and as I have 5 litres of Fully Synthetic oil which is just sitting in my garage I would like to use this. The oil I have is 0W40 I think, now I know I have to flush the old oil out and replace the filter as the oil in there is looking a little grubby but has anyone replaced the oil in their car with Fully Syn or is it not a good idea ?
Generally you don't put full syn in a car until it's run in and as mine has done 20K this should be OK unless someone can tell me different ?
BTW the forum handle has a long history and couldn't be the furthest away from the truth beside I am an old git [8D]
Thanks in advanced Ivan
