Default v40 Bifuel oil

Hi guys,
Quick question, checked the oil level on my Bifuel earlier and found it right on the bottom of the stick:-( Popped to Halfrauds but their little oil guide has nothing listed for Bifuel models, and the staff werent much help:-(

Can someone tell me what type of oil would be suitable? Costco are doing Magnatec 5w30 4 litres for £18 starting tomorrow. Would that be appropriate?

Cheers, I am clueless

yes that would be fine , there are no special oil requirements for Bi-Fuel over the standard engine ..

Don't forget oil is kept cleaner on cars when run on LPG , so if its OK for petrol then its fine on both .
