Hello all :)

I purchased my allroad last weekend and wanted some advice from those more experienced regarding decent Engine Oil for it.
It's a 1 owner car with a full service history and seems to run well but not sure what oil to use in it. It has about 163K miles so im thinking may be not go by the handbook but prefer experience with higher mile 2.5's.

I'm also hoping to get the car looked over properly without getting ripped off and hoping for some sound advice with the maintenance on these cars. Engine oil question should be easy enough, i realise its a matter of opinion but that's what im asking for.

I have read about potential fuel pump issues too but how would i know if mine was bad? it drives fine other than setting off in 2nd gear from about a rolling 10mph on a slight incline seems such hard work for it, is that normal?

Cheers

Thanks Gaz....would that be any particular make? semi/fully synth? I would prefer to put some decent stuff in it as its clearly been looked after in its past.

Cheers
