Title: Recommended oil 09 SX Petrol
Post by: smashbie on June 26, 2020, 11:24:32

Hi,

Looking to replace oil in my 09 SX Petrol Manual. It has 240k on the clock.

The previous mechanic put in Castrol Edge 5W-30.

Would you recommend to continue using this or using something else?

Thanks.

With 240 thou on the clock 5W-30 would likely still be fine, though I'd probably bump it up to 5W-40 on an older engine.

Shell Ultra is great stuff  :link: Shell Helix Ultra Engine Oil 5W-40 5 Litre | Supercheap Auto (https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/shell-shell-helix-ultra-engine-oil-5w-40-5-litre/215344.html) :goodjob2: if you can hold out for specials you can knock $30 off.
