what oil would you use on a 1.4 16v which has done 84 000miles.

i've changed it to fully synthetic GTX magnetic 10 40 rating. does that seem right, just want to be double sure cause i swear my engine seems noisier than usual.

cheers

should be ok for the amount of miles you have on the car

just keep an eye on the level over the next lock of months, if it seems to be disappearing at a rapid rate of knots then just get a thicker viscosity next time, say 15w-40
