Did use 0w/40 mobil 1, now I use 15w/50 mobil 1.

I was accused of having an obsession about seats
Your's wouldn't be engine oil would it

Probably best to use a good synthetic grease, I used an ordinary lithium grease. It doesnt need a lot, too much and it'll be oozing out over wheels for ages ( like mine ! )

The book says use 10w-30 or 10w-40 Fully Synthetic.

10w-40 is more available in the UK as 10w-30 is predominantly a US grade.

A good fully synthetic one is Motul 300V 10w-40.
