    Is this suitable???

    Before I get shot down, I am rubbish with oil etc and what you can and cant use.

    I can get hold of the following;

    DURON, SAE 15w-40
    Premium heavy duty engine oil

    Can I use this in my 5 or should I not??

    If not ill stick to whats recommended on here.

    Thanks in advance

    Well, viscosity is fine, 15w-40 however the 'heavy duty' part usually relates to diesel engines (heavy oil). I have googled it and it appears to offer benefits like 'soot control' so in my book i would leave it for diesel vehicles and stick with the usual like halfrauds semi synthetic 15w-40 or 10w-40 fella

    Cheers. Will be popping in there tomorrow to get some. Then start getting the fluids in my 5

    The old 5 is coming along well I think...lol...I may change that opinion once I try to restart it for the first time after the rebuild......
