    As i'm on the minimum at the moment and considering a DIY oil service, I wondered what oil you '04-'07 guys were using and what grade as it's difficult to tell from the handbook.

    That's cheap that is. I think it normally retails for about £40-£45.

    Yep. Semi synth, 10/30. Castrol. Tastes slightly better than silkolene too. (dont ask)
