you asking for a ban then?
try younger ears
5w40 has been on fiats data sheets for all 16v fire engines for a few years now
recommended by 'oilman'?
will be a bit thin if you get the engine really hot
correct grade is 5w/40
Out of interest, any idea why this manual suggests Selenia 20K, which is 10w40?
I plan to supply Mobil Super S 10w40 to my dealer for my 1st service, as it will save me money and meets the same standards (ACEA and API?) the 20K does.
Spec sheets..

no need to be so fasty Dave, as a moderator you should be setting an example of how to conduct oneself on a forum![]()
straight after being told about oilman getting banned for keep on says use the non recomended grade oil he again posts he cant find nothing wrong with it. comment about his ears is from his own postings that they are not that good. how can saying he cant hear no noise be valid if he himself has said his ears dont work too good
it is fact and been proven many times that going from 10w to 5w gets the tappets working quicker and gets rid of the noise

its out of date that is why
Can you expand on this? Link to said 'data sheets'?
I'd rather see it for myself than take your word for it. After all, that is what much of this discussion is about.
When booking my 100hp service I was advised by the dealer that they would use 10w40. If I was certain of the correct grade I could go and get it for them and take home the rest for top-ups.![]()

I just use any semi/fully synth oil I can get in my hands cheap. It REALLY DOESN'T MATTER.
My Punto 1.4 16v (same engine as Panda 100hp and Stilo 1.4) has now covered 82,000miles engine sounds sweet as a nut. I mostly use 10w/40 fully synth. Last change I used Tesco Fully synth in the gold bottle (got it for £12 for 4Litres!).
And I agree with PNL mine sounds worse using 0w/40 - 5w/40 while cold for the same reason as PNL explained about it being too runny.
The first rating only takes effect while cold anyway so who cares?.
I couldn't care less tbh. Car is out of warranty. I use 10w/40. Car does a lot of miles and is absolutly fine. Just voicing MY EXPERIENCE.
In a colder climate I would use 5w/40.
It's also very strange how every Fiat dealer in my area I've took it too are using 10w/40 Selenia....
I always use the manufacturer specified oil in the handbook![]()
