i used fully synthetic oil even before removing my OMP, my engine didn\'t die.

Unfortunately Halfrauds stopped their mineral oil a while ago - anything you see on the shelves is just the stock left over - buy it!!!

I have no idea where I am going for my oil now!

I used to whack tesco mineral oil in my old egi lol, i will be using good stuff this time round though. Something like castrol mineral oil or there is some guy thats got some good rotary stuff in Nicosia i\'ll probably take it upto him.

Yeah I saw Tesco did some but couldnt bring myself to use it!!

I can get some Mineral in 15w40 instead of 10w40 - I gather this would be a thicker viscosity when cold but the same when up to opperating temp.   Whats the thoughts - ok to use?

Probably worry too much but would think being thicker when colder would cause more component wear?
