    Hey,

    It's time for my first oil change. I'm gonna get Castrol Edge Sport, and I'm just wondering what grade I need.

    Regards

    w50 has done fine for me. According to the service manual, w40 oil is good for winter, w50 for summer temps. Check the manual for more info :)

    Thanks :) What do the numbers actually mean? And what is the importance of the number before the 'w'? Someone just suggested 10w60...

    edge 10W50.

    Shame its the most expensive one. Its never on special like the 5W50 is.

    Dont use the 5W oil. Its too thin.
