hi all once again

can anyone tell me what type of oil i should be putting in my MGZT+ 2.5 V6 and also is it fairly easy to do an oil change myself, and what would it involve doing it.

thanks

Castrol Magnatex :lol:

Casrol GTX for me. If you crawl under the car it can be messy. I like the idea of sucking the oil out from the dip stick hole with a long purpose made tube.

Duckhams for me.

You'd have to have pretty powerful suck to get the filter out that way. :laughing2:

Or you could go to your nearest national tyres and they can put it up on the ramp for you then flush your old oil through, put a new filter on and fill it up with nice clean oil all for a nice price of £35 plus you get a receipt to put in your service history too :D

I use 5W 40 fully synthetic (Magnatec). No complains :)

Used Mobil Super S 10w40 twice, gives the engine a nice "round" sound to it. Been debating about oils since the old days back in the USA, it's really a matter of the grade specs, not the brand, so I believe. Cheers, F.
