Cheers mate, just trying to look after it now and see how many miles it can do - had water pump, cambelt kit, and alternator belt and tensioners done at 100k aswell as full service.

one last question, Would even 5w/40 fully synthetic stuff by to far?

So the higher the first number the better for protection from cold?

And what about the second number?

Not better, depends on the engine. If you put thick oil in a new engine it wont be as effective as thin oil as it will take longer to work round. Second number is when its hot
