My TA lounge will be 4 years old in the new year and due its second major service, which will be done by my trusted local mechanic. He's happy to use parts I provide, and last year I gave him some Castrol Edge 5W40 that was on offer at Costco, for an oil/filter change.
I've just seen an oil offer from Eurocarparts - they list the following suitable oils (all fully synthetic, C3, 5W40, 4l quantity) and wondered what the forum experts advised:
Castrol Magnatec C3 - £24.99 (Actually quotes Fiat 9.55535-S2)
Triple QX Synplus - £24.99
Petronus Syntium 3000AV - £19.99
I have a vague recollection of someone (Maxi?) saying that Petronus was the same as Selenia, but this may be a senior moment.
The spark plugs specified in the handbook are NGK PLKR9C8. Various mention has been made on the forum of the benefit of Iridium plugs. Does anyone know if there are Iridium equivalents of these, and where to source them.
Thanks folks
