There's no difference between a multigrade 5w40, 10w40 or 15w40 at operating temperature as they are all rated equivalent SAE40 GRADE. The difference is in viscosity when cold, 5w, (SAE5 GRADE), being less viscous than 15w, (SAE15 GRADE).
Maybe worth noting when buying an oil as this is when most people go wrong.
Good shout. I like them Town aces, one down here the other day (K plate) went for £3,000 in fair condition has to be said.My turbo diesel Town Ace (don't ask) ran 15w40. I'd run same oil as the car the turbo came off, then there is no guesswork.
I like mine so much that when it didn't start I pulled the plates off it and walked home.Good shout. I like them Town aces, one down here the other day (K plate) went for £3,000 in fair condition has to be said.
