I had a V8 Convertible at launch in 2013, swapped for an XKR-S in 2015 (one of the last ones made - awesome car and still issed).

Re: The meaning of 0W20 and 5W30 in engine oil types.

The numbers are the viscosity rating which indicates the resistance of the flow of a fluid. The first number i.e. 10W is the measuement at low temparature - (W = Winter), therefore the lower the first number the better the performance of the oil at low temperature.

Re: Meridian upgrade options?

I am also experiencing a clicking noise through the system both on Rad...

Strangely, since the visit, the issues I am having with Bluetooth connection for my...
