I have just bought an S6 Cerbera with a newish engine in (aparently same as tuscan, i dont know the difference as im new to TVR ownership) anywhoo the engine has done 6k miles since being installed, what grade oil should be used, my handbook says to use 0W 40, but my local TVR dealer says to use 15W 50.

So im wobble and dont know which is best, any advice would be very much appreciated as im worried the wrong oil could do some damage to the engine.

Mobil1 15/50 is what I exclusively use in the 4.5 as recomended by APM and my local TVRcc

Enjoy the car.

Are you topping up or doing an oil change? If topping up call the garage that did the engine work or last oil change and ask what they used. Best not to mix oils.
