DRUNK New Member 11 Member For: 8y 8m 10d Posted 27/05/16 10:28 PM Share Posted 27/05/16 10:28 PM (edited) Hi, I reside in Townsville, I have just purchased a fg xr6t (330rwkw) with 70,000km from Brisbane. I believe the car is running Castrol magnatec semi synthetic 10w-30, should I change to a different viscosity due to the higher ambient temps up here in North QLD? Pretty new to all of this Can someone recommend the best brand and type? Edited 27/05/16 10:31 PM by DRUNK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
