I recently bought 10 litres of Shell Helix Ultra SAE 5W40 Fully Synthetic Car Engine Oil for my 2003 4.2 dry sump Coupe, so it should be the same for both.

Okay gr8 I shall try that I think it’s the same engine

Yes, it is, and the same oil. Try either ECP or Opie with a discount code, you should need 2x5L and be about £20 each.

Or use this link, from Ebay

https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/Shell-Helix-Ultra-5w-40-Fully-Synthetic-Engine-Oil-5w40-5-Litres/1837274406

buy it for £22.99 , collect it in the store then weeks later get a refund 'because you didn't collect it'. Yet they sit on your shelf ready for the next oil change...

Not that this has happened to me recently...lol

Haha ) just ordered all the bits.. some from euro others from HROwen.. got £76 off the total from euro for 8 spark plugs plus 10litre oil.

Any suggestions on the coolant to use?. May as well drain it and put new.

Also what is the oil change procedure for dry sump?.

Thanks
