Hi All,

I am after engine oil for my v50 D5 which has 164k on the clock

I am thinking of putting 5-30 fully synthetic in it which still meets the ACEA A5/B5 not the 0-30w recommended. With the mileage would I prefer a slightly thicker oil. I change my oil every 6k.

Thought I would run it by people on here, see if they can see any issues with it.

P.S i have just had a nightmare job on this car!!! doing the front spring and 2 inner CV boots. My spring compressors would not compress that damn spring!!!

Thanks,

Jon
