Complete newbie asking a quick oil question
Hi all,
I recently bought myself a 2006 RX 8 Evolve and was wondering if you could help me with the oil. I have read many threads debating synthetic vs semi vs mineral and so on and to be quite honest I don't totally understand it all.
Per my manual I want 5w-30 fuel with certain ratings but it doesnt mention whether it should be synthetic etc.
Si, I have found this oil (Mobil ESP):
http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/s...egoryId_165581
It matches the specs in the book but I am unsure if the "fully synthetic" part will be bad for the engine.
I apologise if this is a frequent question, but I am struggling to find an oil that the majority seems to agree with.
Thanks in advance
Dave
