Engine oil - 2.5 KV6 engine - 190PS
Use a 10W/40 oil meeting specification ACEA A3 and having a viscosity band recommended for the temperature range of your locality.
Please note, it is very common for engine swaps to have been done on a 180 or 190 that has had a sick engine, and rather than swapping the cams etc over, often a 177 2.5 from a 75 is just dropped in. Always check your engine block code if purchasing a 180 or 190.
