Title: Engine oil grade 1.6i.e Post by: flatfourontour on 28 July, 2023, 01:03:05 PM For lampredi 1.6i.e
Handbook says 10w40. Is this still what most people use? The reason I ask is 10w40 is the manufacturer grade for my Alfa v6, but I put in Millers 10w50 and the V6 does well on that, doesn't burn a drop and gives a bit more confidence when hard driving and I am wondering about using the same for the Prisma.

Went back to traditional 20/50 with much better results, however have some 10/50 to try on next change which will hopefully help both hot running and cold starting.
