Manual doesnt allow anything over Xw-40 weight, so stick below that.
My cars done 125k and I've used full synthetic 5w-30 Mobil 1 extended performance and it was really good. Now I'm running mobil 1 0w-40 (gold bottle), both on extended drain interval.
Our euro loves synthetic.
Ps: castrol edge no longer exist, it's now edge Titanium formula, it's a lot more expansive now, reason people used castrol edge before is because its really cheap when on special.
If you are really paranoid, Mobil one does have a "high milage formula" in 5w-40. Check it out, it's American import, a shop in Melbourne sells them.
I just picked up 5 Litres of Castrol Edge 5W-40. On special at Repco for $40. It says its fully Synthetic. Who knows it may be a blend. Never used it before so thought I might give it a go as it may suit the cold Canberra winters. Some days the mercury barely gets above 5 Deg C and its usually about 2-3 Deg C on the drive to work. Anyone else tried the Edge 5W-40? Oh they also have the old faithful 20W-50 for $15. May be handy to have in the shed for emergency top ups.
