I used to just run GTX 10W/40 in my 205 1.9 Turbo Technics, I used to change the oil & filter evey six months, as I did not baby the engine, and as I could get oil and parts at trade price why not.

20w/50

 

Bloody hell, that is required for 60's engines not 80's engines!

I believe golden syrup is around 20w50
