The Ignis Sport is due for it's 9,000 mile service soon.

What's a good oil to ask the dealer to use?

It's a very freely revving 1.5 16v DOHC VVC engine.

It's used mostly at motorway speeds twice a day for a total of approx 120 miles/day...

I assume the dealers would use a 10w40 Semi Synth, but would it be worth using a Mobil 1 type oil to get more smoothness/etc.
I would be prepared to pay a small premium for more responsiveness/ economy.

I think the oil coming out of it is the "running-in" oil that comes from the factory... swarf and all.

Cheers.

The stock recommendation is 10w-40.

If you want to put better in then 5w-40 fully synthetic

Cheers

Thanks oilman.
I actually dug out the manual and the recommended oil is a 5w30 Fully synth. Sounds expensive, especially for 9000 mile service intervals, which is every 12 weeks!
