The local motor factors (who I'd be buying the oil from anyway), give them the reg and they look it up on their super dooper computer, and get you the right oil and filters.

 

Think it's @aspenarb on here who says he puts 10w40 in everything, they'll all be fine

I'd agree; 5w30 is too thin for engine longevity, it was forced on engine makers to increase economy at the cost of engine life.

It's always good to keep swapping the filters in-between oil changes.

 

Depending on mileage, a £10 oil filter every 6 months also helps to keep the muck out of the turbo especially if you're doing a lot of idling.

Viscosity isn’t so much the issue, it’s the additives. You will quickly fk a modern envisions control engine with the wrong oil. 
 

Call your local motor factors and give then the reg. they will be the cheapest anyhow so why go elsewhere?
