I know not many of ye here have the petrol sportage but any that do , what spec of oil do ye use, the handbook says 5w30 but is that full or semi synthetic?

Hi Techie believe the recommendation is for Full synthetic, if later model.

Thanks Bob, went with 5w30 semi-synthetic from Halfords (25% off) and I must say engine is way quieter with this in.

Just an update, engine was using too much of the 5w30 so have changed to 5w40 and it is holding onto this now, anyone else have any experience of this, garage said no leaks in engine just that they thought the 5w30 was too light for the climate here in Ireland?
