    Personally I liked the Mobil1 0W40 as the engine, especially the turbo, went better when cold.

    I've always used 15/50 in all of my 5's & usually the cheepest I can find, lol, regular changes though if its a cheapy. I use 15/50 because back in the old days, circa 1990 renault dealers always stocked elf prestige 15/50 semi synth, so I've stuck to that weight ever since.

    By the way Gibbo, your 5 looks beautiful brings back memorys for me, my first 5 was an 88 E in Electric Blue....the best colour by far
