JImgoose: Thanks, it makes a difference in the wallet here in Belgium. Book is a bit vague on oil. 0w-30 or 5w-30 in your opinion? Natural or synthetic?

Seems strange that an EU owners manual specifies octane level in AKI (a rating system used pretty much only in North America) and North American owners manuals specifies octane levels only in RON (used everywhere EXCEPT North America).

As to which oil to use, follow the viscosity recommendations found in the manual. Whether you choose conventional or synthetic or a blend usually comes down to what makes YOU happiest, the car couldn't care less.

My handbook (USA) says S-type fuel should be at least 95 RON, but that 98 RON may also be used.
I take that to mean that anything less than 95 RON could lead to undesirable consequences, and anything higher than 95 RON could lead to even better performance.
If performance is of no consequence, then whatever...

But not one bit of evidence has ever been provided that it does, so as per your recent advice to me, let it go......................
