Default Quick OIL question

running low!

in garage I have

Halfords 10:40
Carlube 10:30

Which should I put in????

Car is being serviced in a month or so, so just will get 'proper/best' oil then.

Thanks in advance

Quick oil answer

Either will be fine, but 10w30 is recommended. I used a 'generic' (CarPlan I think) mineral 10w30 for the 1st 9000 miles.

The difference between 10w30 and 10w40 will be insignificant.

Where should I buy MINERAL oil?

I'm two "X's" above the low mark and at 2500 miles after owning it for a month. So, I don't need to add "break in" oil since I'm under 3500 miles?

Clueless...

Anywhere to buy mineral oil in the U.S.?

I went into autozone and asked for mineral oil and the guy looked at me like I was crazy.
