That's fair enough. Seems to be 10-40 synth is the oil of choice for the (few English speaking) turbo wagon owners. I must say, what a bonkers machine. Love it.  |

(adrian flux) specs booklets i got with in japanese lol google keikars variey from as you say 10/40 semil to 5/30 fully synthetic to 0/20 fully synth the british climate also has a part in why i ask .So you can see how confusing it is andy

I don't expect there are any stickers around the engine bay giving spec? I would tend to think 10/40 would be a little thick for something I assume revs rather well, I would go for 5/30 or 0/30 fully synthetic

Greenlight insurance may be able to insure you, they're not bad on the imports. |

I use Semi Synthetic in mine - make sure you do it quite regularly, I had spectacular engine failure thanks to sludging.  |
