				Hi,
 
 
The latest news from my AR parts dealer is that Selenia 20K red tin Oil has stopped from distribution. Now 5W/40 oil is available in new packaging with emblem a star or something like that.
 
 
Weird that they changed it ...
 
 
I 'll keep you informed as today I'll buy a couple of pieces.

				5w40 is a bit thin. i ran that in one of my 16v cloverleaf and some of the lifters died    
 
 
so i went back to 10w40 or even 15w50. i was driving the car VERY hard when they went but i'd have to see other people have the same problem.
