^^^^ what brand do you use, does brand make a difference do you think?

They had 15/40 and 10/40 mineral oil in Tesco's tonight 2L for £5.40 Buy1 get one free.

I suppose thats mineral when others are using semi but thats probably what was around and used when the pinto first came on the scene

Castrol Edge Sport 10w/60. Needs it the way I drive it!

the advice I got was: pintos are happy with a wide range of oils

basicaly buy a decent brand if you want decent oil

5w/40 or 10w/40 synthetic and change to 10w/50 if its getting too hot / too thirsty

or just stick to standard pinto 15w/40 semi synthetic
