I have read it tem, but no one seems to come to a decision mate. Thats why I chose these two oils, as its the two they seem to be split between.

not being funny, but if no one came to a decision thast probably because we all have different opinions.

we can restate them but your still going to have to make up your own mind, for better or worse.

personally I'd go for the 5W40,  but thats just my view.

Ditto (which is why I went for 0W-40 rather than 0W-30 or 10W-30 when given the choice)
