   I'm running 10W 40 magnatec atm, is it any good?
   
   What should I go for next time?
   
   Also I've heard some people say you shouldn't use engine flush as bad stuff happens.

   Engine flush I've never had a problem with on newer cars but I can get rid of gunk that is blocking a leak I found a couple of weeks later on an older engine but as for oil I use shell or total never really been fussed on castrol

   I use 10w 40 Miller on mine and each oil change it gets a bottle of engine flush thru. It aint blown up yet so I'd say it works fine!

   royal purple 5/30 oil is the one boys, try to change every thousand miles as it runs really rich and is lush for your engine. absoultely the right choice for that beats of a 1.1 .................................. turbo
