oil

[swedge]

any difference between part synthetic and semi synthetic oil?

how much oil for a 2.0?

[mowgli]

semi synthetic means it is semi synthetic
part synthetic means it is part synthetic

i hope this has cleared the matter up.

seriously, semi is 50:50 synthetic, part is whatever the oil maker wants to put in it.

a 2.0 8v is hardly in need of it, just use gm 15w50. its cheap enough

[swedge]

well ive just bought 5l semi synthetic 10w-40 GM

[mowgli]

its probably a bit thin, but it should be ok

i checked opie oils and thats what it recomends

I wouldnt trust a damn thing that dopey oil sales say ;) They are just after selling you a fully synth at £10+ per litre.

Part Synth and semi synth are essentially (as far as 95% of us care) the same.... Any old 10w40 will do you fine tbh.

10w40 semi-syn is fine for a healthy 2.0 8v.
