Not sure what came out but put in Delvac and a Purolator classic oil filter. This car never ceases to amaze me; he brought it to me again with it being 2qts low and 17K since the last oil change(not synthetic).
OUT: Valvoline 5w-30 (white bottle, API-SM) w/ Mann ML 1002 filter(which replaced a leaky Bosch D+3312 at an early point during this interval) PLUS Lubegard Engine Oil Protectant
In went Maxlife 10w40 Synthetic Blend, mechanic didn't use my Bosch filter as he felt it would be better to use LTi branded one for clearance reasons, it is apparently slightly shorter!
Good news is the engine definitely sounded quieter, which this engine does have a habit of doing after fresh oil is put in.
Even better news is there is enough oil left to put Maxlife in the wife's Clio! Double win, no extra expenditure as I have Mann filter in shed for it already.
Will report back in appropriate section if very slight oil leak is reduced.
