I'm using Mobil 1 10/40 semi synthetic, no problems at all many good brands out there to take your choice from.

Hi Phil,
Can you explain why you prefer Duckhams? I ask this because I have X-Parts oil in my 2.5KV6, and when cold it’s making more noise than with my previous oil, what was Kroon. Both oils are semi synthetic 10W40 When the engine is warm it is as smooth as ever. At my next service I will have no more X-Parts oil. There are so many stories on oil, so I am curious why Duckhams, and wich type? Rob.

Thanks for your reply Phil,
What Duckhams did you use 5W40 or the 10W40? Rob.
