Hi, I\'ve been given some 15w/40 mineral oil. Is it ok to use this in my FD please?

I ask as I see it normally is 10w/40.

Cheers Al. :cheers

Yep, I\'ve got some too and acquired it the same way :)

Is it Morris Lubricants per chance?

Not specifically what I would recommend as normally I would say 10-30 or 10-40 mineral, but it won\'t hurt to use it up as it\'s free :)

Thanks Clive, I change it often anyway so might well use it as a top up oil, so it gets mixed with whatever is in there on the day.
