Yes. I'm hoping it improves my fuel economy.

Meh, 5W - 40W is fine for the '6.

Just happened to be looking for some oil for mine and looks like the UK castrol has changed to a 5w40 petrol and diesel oil (compliant with 505.01 still) and you can't get the old stuff anymore.

Might just get the stuff Shopp pointed to (which is German labelled) AND you get 5 litres instead on the normal 4
