Reply With QuotePenrite 15W60. Been running 15W60 no problems and know where to buy it. Generally it's been recommended on forums to use 15W50 cause the engine works less.
Coming up close to 130k km. Always use Hengst for oil filters.

10W40 semi-synthetic.
Easy and cheap to buy.
These aren't highly-strung race engines that need an annual rebuild.

5w30/40 or 10w40. They like light oil. My oil temps were 5 degrees cooler on 5w40 than 10w40.

My clutch broke and it appears to be the original.
My chains were according to the service history on the car done with in the last 40,000kms
