   Last oil I put in my saxo was part synthetic recommended by my local garage. But im unsure? Which one would you guys recommend, and is it ok to top up part synthetic with full synthetic.

   Better off just emptying the old oil and refilling with new stuff rather than mixing.. But if its a temporary thing then thats alright :Y:
   
   Fully synthetic is best mate also.. Castrol magnetec semi synthetic 10w40 has been mentioned a few times for running well in saxo's aswell.. Up to yourself buddy :Y:

   Fully synthetic, it's okay to mix for a bit, like getting it home. but drain and replace when doing properly.
