Yeah it's 15w-40 like JB said. What's all this semi synthetic and fully synthetic lark? It doesn't say anywhere on the Castrol container what sort of oil it is. Sorry if that's a daft question!

So am I right in saying that 10w-40 is thinner than 15w-40? I'm sure I heard somewhere that the first number is to do with the thickness when cold, and then second when hot.......or something like that. Not gonna pretend I know what I'm talkin about!
