Another oil related woe....

[Heat Seeking Missile]

Should be a nice simple answer to this one, I checked my oil earlier to find it was on the minimum mark, so I did a quick search on here to see what the recommended grade was and it appeared to be 10W-50.

I had to nip out to do some shopping so I called into Halfords to grab some to top it up, but could only find Mobil 1 15W-50 fully synthetic. Is this ok?

Cheers,

Mark

Come, come...

As a top up, yeh no probs.

Hit the Opie oil site and the FAQ's.

Happy reading.

It will mix yes.
Not a huge difference between 15w 50 and 10w 50. I think I am right in saying 15w is more viscous. What is in there now?
If its unknown oil might be worth changing for something decent just to be on the safe side. A decent fully synthetic will see you right.
Fuchs Silkolene comes highly recommended from me - the 10w 50 is a cool purple colour too

QRSport did a big service on it a few weeks ago but I'm not sure what grade they put in. All I know is that it was fully synthetic.

Where do you get the 10W-50 from? I dont think I've ever seen it.
