I'm about to change the engine oil on my 1.8 7A-FE. What kind of oil should I use? As mentioned in the topic title the car have driven 142K miles, or 226K Km.
On Castrols website I used their oil guide (http://ew5.earlweb.com/recommendations.php?site=71§or=1&category=6&subset=278&modelyear=&vehicle=7964), and it says that I should use 5W/40, but since the engine isn't new I have heard someone say that 10W/40 is better? Btw it's winter here in Denmark (Scandinavia) right now it's around -10 Celcius, and it is probably getting worse. Which oil should I get?
