Engine oil - K1.8 engine (Not turbo)

Use a 10W/40 oil meeting specification ACEA A2:96 and having a viscosity band recommended for the temperature range of your locality.

Alternatively, a 10W/40 engine oil meeting specification ACEA A1:96 can be used, and this specification may improve fuel economy.
