Going to do an oil change on my Grande Punto, 1.4 T-Jet, getting a tad confused with the oil types. What do I need? I take it not any fully synthetic will do? Any advice be mucho appreciated

Does it not tell you in the handbook what type of oil to use??
Most Petrol GP's take 15W 40

really? that sounds very wrong considering the Grande is a modern car, and basicly, the 1.2 engine is the same as the 1.2 we stick in centos and that used 10w/40, manufacturers nowadays tend to use 5w/40, 99% sure the modern Fiat petrols all use 5w/40

the standard fiat (selina) oil is very good

15w/40 according to the handbook.
But I'm running Dubster on 10w/40 as bought plenty when I had the Sei.
Castrol GTX 10w/40

And aye the Selina is good, but very expencive.

are you sure? i just looked up a few oil places and they are all saying 10w/40 and 5w/40
 
I thought even though 10w/40 etc, they are all different, something to do with additives, individual car producers add different stuff to their oils. Yeah looked at Selina but kinda pricey
