what oil

[Dell]

Hi all new member just purchased a X Type 2.5 V6 manual 2003 with only 44000 miles and not sure what Oil to use synthetic or mineral.

Thanks in advance Dell

Castrol Magnatec 5W 30 fully synthetic is the one you want, Oil codes for the x type engines in the handbook match to it also so it is the recommended Oil. Dunno what alternatives others are using but this is what I have.

Many thanks

​i am not sure what Oil is in the car at the moment but if my thinking is correct (usually not) 5w 30 only comes semi synth or fully synth  

and they will mix so if i buy fully synth to top up then when i do a Oil change use fully synth please correct me if this is wrong.

I only got the car last Saturday and it had a service but they cannot tell me what Oil they put in as the mechanic is on holiday.

Many thanks Dell
