This was written the best part of thirty years ago, and the best oils today bear no relation to the oils available then.reggid wrote:what did the original owners manual say?
According to the handbook that came originally with 'ordinary' E30s, 10W-40, which I suspect most of us use, is only suitable for ambient temperatures up to 15 celcius maximum.
