    Default What oil for xe nova?

    What oil should I be putting in my xe nova? Been told to go for 5w30 fully
    is that right?

    the car isnt an everyday car and will prob spend a lot of its life in the high revs tbh.

    10/40 is the most universal oil and you cant realy go wrong with it imo, I put it in my daily which gets plenty of abuse and 5 changes a year so its also the cheeper option
