Engine oil help needed?

check with dealer for your make or look in owners manual. otherwise most motor factors have reference data for each car and model to enable correct oil to be sold.

very likely an oil such as 10W30 or 15W30. newer engines tend to use thinner oils around 5W30.

things that should be done as far as routine maintenance are change the oil every 3 thousand miles be sure and get a tune up kit make sure to change the inline fuel filter every 2 years or so. And use a good grade of gasoline. Cheapo companies use less expensive additives to boost octane and often thier products have water in them, and what this can do is leave hardened deposits in places you dont want them. Fuel injection has very tiny orifices that can get plugged up easily and using a cheap can cause unwanted problems. A better grade and octane burns hotter burns cleaner and this helps keep deposits away from your engine and helps keep tiny orifices clean. The engine runs better and smoother. The extra you spend for this works out to about a gallon of gas in a 20 gallon tank

Your phrasing makes me think you live in the UK? It does get cold there this time of year so I would suggest any kind of 5W-30. I assume you use the same oil ratings you do here in the US. If not your local auto parts shop can probably convert that figure to your ratings you have there.

Should be able to use 5w-30 or 10w-30 synthetic.

The specification for the oil will be in your handbook under 'specifications'.
