It says to use this type of oil but I cant figure out what it is. Im not sure if this only applies to my country or not. Any idea what SL/CF means and does the English manual recommend 10W-30?

I know the english manual recommend the 10w30 oil. But i cant confirm the SL/CF as i cant locate my manual.

 

My manual says the same thing as yours. I live in the U.S. It says 10W-30 fully synthetic if the weather in your area does not go below 10 degrees below zero. If it does then they say to use 5W-30 fully synthetic engine oil. So depending on the weather conditions in your area use Mobil 10W-30 or Mobli 5W-30.

The climate here is similar to Florida I think. Very hot(80-95F) in the summer and about (60-70F) in the winter. Do you think its ok to use 5w 30? What oil rating do you use in Florida?

 

Use 10w30

 

I use 10W-30 Mobil 1

The SL is an American Petroleum Institute classification

Thanks for the link. I will try and find 10W 30 but is it necessary to use SL/CF oils? I tried to find info about this on that link but doesnt really say its that important to use it on the car. So my main question is besides the 10W 30 oil is it ok to buy oil that does not have SL/CF?

 

on turbocharged engines, the SL and CF is recommended and most synthetic class oils are

I use 5w30 in the summer, and 10w30 when the weather gets colder.
