Curious about the engine oil spec for my car.

Different websites say 0W-30, 5W-30, 5W-40 or 10W-40.

Cant make sense of it.

Just need good all round oil for commuting to work.

I am driving Skoda Fabia Mk2 1.6 16v petrol, doing about 15k miles a year, currently 72k miles on the clock.

Any specifics?

 

Nope, it's nonsense, just buy whatevers best value when you need to change it. I prefer fully synthetic but I'm not precious and I'll use semi if it's a lot cheaper.

There will be brand fairies along shortly to tell you how important it is but they lack the proper technical education.

Well don't listen to that rubbish the best oil to use is fully syn and buy a good quality oil don't use what is the cheapest as many CHEAPoils are recycled or mixed with whatever, driving in this country with the cold weather most of the year myself would use a 5w 30w oil as this will cover most temps, my old fabia mk2 did over 100,000 miles before getting written off by a careless driver --- changed oil filter and oil every year and used the longlife oil as recommened, never used oil betwwen services and engine was used in another car and still going strong today so it does matter what oil you use PS  also use a good quality filter not the shop bargin type they don't filter the oil correctly 

Use VW 502 00 spec and change it every 8 months. 😁
