#1: What Oil? Author: James3107, Posted: Sat Nov 16, 2013 6:01 pm ---- So what oil do people use?
I use Shell Helix Ultra 5W 30 just wondered if this was doing any good to my car...

5W30 may be too thin at higher temperatures to lubricate adequately.
Have a read of this guide from Oilman and it explains in a bit more detail. www.206info.co.uk/Foru...57044.html

I found it's the best for the extreme conditions over here, and most people I know all agree on this.
I use 5W40 full synthetic in the 206 1.4i (TU3, 8-valve), and 5W30 on any other 16-valve engine which needs the thinner oil for the hydraulic tappets to work optimaly.
So yeah, depends what engine as Edward says but worth every penny even though quite expensive.
