Manual says 5w-30. Probably just a type error on the printout. |

5W40 is a thicker oil when hot, as said, probably wouldn't do any harm, but best make sure it is the recommended 5W30 added this time. |

It's the first number, which is the cold viscosity which is the most important. The last thing anyone wants, is poor lubrication when starting up. |

Well car went in for service last week and i was given a load of confusing guff about oil and numbers but don't worry was repeated a lot. £360 service and another £1000 plus VAT recomended work brakes and discs etc which i am getting done by a friend,the bit that made me laugh was rear wiper arm seized £66 plus VAT to fix,three squirts of WD 40 later its all better |

They is a couple of threads on here regarding the rear wiper, you may want to search for them, basically you need to strip it down, clean the wiper gearbox out and regrease, burntout motor or worse if you don't p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior |
