Depends on what has been in it and what mileage is on your car, I use a 5w40 fully synth car but she has 22k on the clock (shell helix ultra).

all of the above are ok. 10-40 is what most daily drivers that i know with scoobys use. mobil 1 super s is £10 for 5l in asda at the moment, usually though i use shell helix 10-40 semi synth
