Dannibirdie Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 no. Check the handbook, or ring the dealer and ask them. The wrong oil could cause you some serious problems long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leah-Lacie Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 No, some engines need fully synthetic oils, part synthetic etc etc, best to check the manual, or a Google search will help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leah-Lacie Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I think its to do with lubrication, if you use the wrong type, it can make the parts seize up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANGELFIRE1 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Any oil is better than no oil - fact. Correct type of oil is even better. Angel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
