I'm going to change the oil in my TU3JP 1.4 8v and I'm confused as to which oil I need.
Now.. I've searched the forum but cant find my answer or there's contraindicative info.
Which type of oil do I need? Is it 5W40 OR 5W30, Is it fully synthetic, synthetic or mineral?
Thanks

Yea that will be fine.
Lee, maybe he doesnt have time to get to the shop? Sometimes it's easier to just get it delivered to your house/place of work.

Seeing as it gets cold during the winter in the UK don't you guys prefer 0W30 or 5W30 oil?
