Welcome to the clubTjay. Where are you based?
I've always used Castro semi-synth 10w 40 in mine with no ill effects.

welcome to the forum T Jay, don't get us started on the what oil debate. I recently had a heated debate with a guy from the usa regarding oil. he refused to believe that vtr's could have issues using fully synthetic oil.
it's personal choice after all. but most of us have chosen a 10w 40 semi syth.
as yet I've not heard of anyone having an issue with semi syth. and that goes from the cheapest to the more expensive oils.... :thumbup:
HEY YOU GUYS!!!!!!

Heya :wave: Welcome to the forums :thumbup:

Folk have different ideas as to what is best to use but myself.. I don't fuss over brands too much other than checking out reviews if using a brand I haven't used before.. I just stick with 10/40 semi and I change oil twice a year.
