Question
What grade engine oil should I use for my 1.4 Tu3m 75 bhp engine?
Owners manual says 15/40 but the motor factors are coming up with 5/40 ?
Bearing in mind that the engine is 25 year's old and has 80'000 miles on it,
Any ideas people?

What the owners manual says !
5W 40 will drop straight out, other people will have a better idea but I think millers oils have a good technical helpline ?

i tend to run everything french on 10w40, regardless of miles, unless its a hdi then they use 10w30.

5W40 will be fine, but I reckon use 10W40. Total do some decent stuff in that grade. If you plan to do track work then I'd probably see what Opie offer on their website.

As Welshpug says. 10w40, a good quality semi sytnthetic will be fine. and will cope with track work on a standard / mildly tuned engine.
