Hi
Been a long since last post
Help choose an oil between the Castrol Magnatec Stop-Start 10W-30 or Mobil Super™ Everyday Protection 15W-40 below.
Vehicle Holden commodore 3800 V6.
Over 250000 kms
City driving, trips vary between 10 t0 20km trips
Climate 3 to 25 deg C winter
I am leaning towards the Castrol 10w-30 as the 100 deg CP is 12.4 and it is rated SN and A3/B4.
It almost a thin 40 wt,
Any advantage of 15w-40.
See oil specs below
