A bit thin & fancy for a 8 valve TU lump, it should be ok but a 10w 40 semi synthetic would be better.

Mines got DAF orange long life OAT coolant in it as that's what we have barrels full of at work
System was flushed last year when it had timing belt & water pump replaced.

That's what i thought but that's the oil that is listed for the car at my motorfactors. Think i might use 10-40 semi next change.
