Read the handbook that comes with the car, if you've lost it then ask at a main dealer - they seem to know what to put in it

As said above there is no need to change your oil for the temperature variations in the England. What car are you talking about, anyway? How many miles do you do in one year? Make sure you change the oil (and filter) as often as the service book says.
More important is making sure that you have anti-freeze in your water system, although you should have this in the summer too to stop corrosion. |
