hi all, Ive bought some halfords own brand 4 stroke synthetic oil which is 5w-40w. I'm just wondering if this is OK, as everyone ells is saying 10w-40w , Will it make any difference?  thanks all   |

Theres higher detergent levels in diesel engine oil. Not really the best stuff for petrol engines |
