16v_paddy's Minty Mint 1995 Naples Valver

0W40?

I would have thought that was too thin!

This is a bargain though :D

Always used it & never had any issues either castrol edge or mobil 1, whichever was the cheapest on ebay :P got 8 litres of castrol edge last time for £38 delivered :D

I've found it just gets to the top of the engine & stops the tappets making noise a lot quicker

0W40?

This is a bargain though :D

The first number indicates the viscosity of the oil at a cold temperature, while the second number indicates the viscosity at operating temperature.

When looking at multi-grade a 0W-50 is a 0 weight oil that will not thin more than a 40 weight would when hot, so when hot a 0-w40,5w-40, 10w-40 are all the same.

So its not thinner then any other 40 grade when the engine is running

Aya, I agree with all that, I just thought it wouldn't offer enough protection when cold!

[16v_paddy]

would offer a bit more as it will get round the engine a bit quicker
