5w40 is too thin for our climate. You may as well put 3in1 in it. Personally if i had a motor with over 100,000 on the clock i would put 20w50 in it + some Wynns or STP to help fill the gaps up.

I thank you for your considered remarks. But unless you live in Alaska there is no need to use 5w oil. As the Rover V8 was originally designed to use 20w50 from new, one that is worn after a high mileage would benifit from a slightly better upper vicosity. That is my opinion, if you disagree no problem, but do try and be civil.

:focus: LOL
I would have loved some 10w60 edge for my short trips and thick at the top for helping my old engine but at £35+ for 4ltr its too pricey for my old girl!
I would put it in my BMW but where that had actually been looked before I got it it is like brand new inside the engine at 103k miles. Now why dont all people treat engines properly!
