i haven't changed my oil since i bought my car a while ago so i think i'd better give it a service. Just wondering what the best type to use is ie. synthetic, semi synthetic or a good quality non synthetic? cheers

personally... oil is oil. All the same stuff. The only kicker is synthetics... but for the most part... mineral oil is mineral oil. The thing is... keep it changed and clean... and within specs. I usually run 10W40
