Hi,
I've just picked up a 2006 V6 120 with 185000 kms on the engine. I'm gonna change the oil and filter as I always do when changing cars, but am finding differing info on which oil to use. I know it's subjective to the climate, day to day use of the vehicle, age, etc., but does anyone have any recommendations considering that its main use will be as a short journey commuter (8kms each way) during the week, with longer trips at the weekends?
The oil will be changed again before summer, so I don't know if there's a better grade to use while temps are a bit lower or not (i'm in Perth, WA)....
Is there really much to it or shall I just put a decent branded 10w40 in there and stop reading too much into it?
Thanks
