Its not the Doing it thats the problem, Its just confirmation of the right specs. If need be I can get my own hands dirty.

Any good 10w40 oil will be just fine.

Should be a regular 19mm sump bung on it.

I don't have to do it... she'll get dad to do it

Magnatec will do the job more than adequately, does your handbook mention oil spec?

I managed to get hold of a vw 505.00 spec oil tonight, so all ready, just need the right weather now .Its acea certified sl/cf so hopefully should be fine.
