I've always swore by 15w30 semi synthetic, oil always seemed to run hotter on 10w 40

I've never had any heat issues runs at about 90 degrees driving and even at long times sat in traffic doesn't go past about 95 degrees

Yeah mate I used a recommended oil from the guy that built luckyb corsa. Once put Vauxhall recommended in which was the 10/40 but found it ran hotter than the 15/30 I was advised
