John Mason · 2009-07-01 16:28:51

does it matter what oil you put in your car? i dont have the manual for the car, all the car shops are closed by the time i get home, so picked some up the garage and i want to check its okay before i put it in.

I presume you mean 10w-40, is it petrol? That should do it fine

Don't forget to replace the 710 cap when you're done.

Huh? When OP said 0W40 they could have meant 0W40 no? Might not suit some engines?

Not too sure but what i do know is 0W-40 is a Full Synthetic oil and 10W-40 is only Semi-Synthetic

[Edit] just checked out that for 1400cc Daewoo Lanos 5W-30 is recommended oil type
