I have a std 98 chim 4.0 28k miles (recently purchased), which requires a yearly 6k service, its a weekend car only so no daily driving, i have booked it in to a reputable indie who has a number of oil options. Which Oil should i use ? some threads say mobil 1 0w 40 is sometimes too thin for cars not used daily, some say use the thicker mobil 1 motorsport 10w/40 - what about shell helix semi synthetic 15w/40 ???. With the car being stood during the week, will thinner oils leave the top end abit dry on start up ??

Thanks all for your input.

It looks like Silkolene Pro S 10w/50 ester based fully synthetic then.

Whats the difference between Pro R and Pro S ???
