Halfords' website recommends 5w/40 fully synthetic for this vehicle.

Question Author

I have some 5W-30 fully synthetic oil,would this be ok?

Hi Barrie, if it's just to top up the oil then I would say yes. If it is for a complete oil change I would personally stick to the 5w/40 recommendation especially if you intend keeping the car long term.

Just to add to the confusion the Castrol website recommends their Edge 0w30 or Magnatec 10w40 products. Can you not check the owners handbook as that will confirm what oils are suitable.
