Hi guys, simple question (i hope)
Need to do an oil change on my 1.4 s (75bhp), anyone know the best grade of oil to use, some places say synthetic, some say semi and some say mineral.
Also, what's the sump capacity? Do I need a gallon or just a couple of litres?
Thanks in advance

Re: Sump capacity
10W40 semi synthetic
Normally around 3.25-3.75 litres depending on the amount stuck in the oil filter
Fill to three, fill to full on the dip stick, run for 5 mins, turn engine off, wait 5 mins and check level again and top up
