At that age and K's I would use 10/40 or 15/40

Use reputable brands, don't be tempted to use the el cheapo rubbish from the likes of the warewhare as it is quite probably recycled rubbish !

I put 15w40 in mine.

They took 10w30 from factory but as you say with age etc I run 15/40. I just use the Castrol Magnatec we use at work as it doesn't cost me anything, but be sure to use a reputable brand, and not a full synthetic either, Semi Synthetic is what you're after and is what most oils are anyway.

thanks how many litres do they hold!

Probably about 4 litres. I would start with four anyway.

About 4.2-4.5L depending on which filter you use, there is two listed for these (In our catalogue anyway), one is a shorter one and one is the longer one, obviously the longer one holds a bit more. But 4L is a good start and top up from there.
