Hi all,

I'm looking to change my oil for my S (2002 model, 43,000 miles), and I can only seem to find 0W-40 Mobil 1 in the shops. My last oil change was done with 0W-40, but since then I have read through some previous comments, and it seems that 10W-30 is the recommended grade on this site.

What are the reasons for using 10W-30? Is it a bad idea for me to use 0W-40? I have noticed my S has been burning oil fairly rapidly recently. Is this linked to the oil I have been using?

Finally, if I must use 10W-30, does anyone know where I can get it in SE England?

I would greatly appreciate some guidence on this!

Cheers
