Hi everyone I know this has probably been covered but too many people differ in their opinions on what oil to use. At the moment I am using total quartz 7000 semi 10 40w but I have heard that the xu much prefers to run on 5 40w fully synthetic. Is this true? Many thanks in advance

Running a 5W-40 will be fine. Infact you'll give your engine better cold start protection - a good idea given the recent temperatures... Thumbs up

A 5W oil is only 'better' than a 10W oil at temperatures below -30�C

What about when your giving it some abuse? Does the 5 40 handle. High temp better?
