I think ive used the wrong OIL opppps

It'd be a nice leisurely 30 minutes, with time to make a cup of tea while the oil was draining out of the car. That's how much labour a garage would probably charge you anyway :roll:

Most garages these days do an engine flush when they change the oil.. Which is a bit pointless if you're changing it so often..

Not if you've got a Mocal oil cooler on your G60!

Yeah, I do mine every 3k... I used to do every 5k on my Golf but the oil gets hotter due to the nature of the supercharged engine altho I now have the Mocal in place and its chopped 20c of the higher oil temps!

I think Kev is refering to my mocal sandwich plate which sits underneath the OE heat exchanger and makes it imposible to fit a G60 filter on the car without hack-sawing the hex off the bottom first! - still only takes 30 mins mind!!

ya I was wondering about my oil as well...

 

Mobil 1 super synthetic 15w-50

 

I live in the north east US, and summer is coming up....

That should be ok right?

 

That is an excellent option!

15W-50 is best oil type for our countries!

The owners manual advises it to tropical climates.

I am using Shell Helix Plus (semi-syntetic) 15W-50.

But i think that you can use fully syntetic motor oil too without problems!
