now here's my question

i am between the following oils
http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-69392-castrol-magnatec-5w-40-c3-fully-synthetic-engine-oil.aspx
http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-60166-fuchs-...he-vw-more.aspx
http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-877-motul-81...engine-oil.aspx
http://www.valvolineeurope.com/english/products/engine_oils/synpower/cid(805)/synpower_5w-40?category=cars
my car is Seat ibiza 1.4 2003
i want an oil tha can last for 10.000-15.000 km..
the temperatures where i live for the winter is from -2c to 20c and for summer is from 20c-45c
i use my car 75% city/10% country roads/15% highway
i do a lot of short distances everyday,i reach the redline frequently..

M1 0-40 gives you good cold start oil flow and high heat protection.

 

[Barkleymut]

How many miles/kilometers do you have on the car? And what grade oil does the owners manual call for?

135.000 km
manual recomends from 0w-30 to 10w-40
i dont know about m1 0w-40
i am afraid that becasue it is a 0w it will burn easily..
that's why it is not in the list..
is it a Group iv or iii?

It won't.
That is an excellent oil, one of the best you can buy.
Do not fear using a 0w40 oil. I have used 0's off and on for years on multiple vehicles, there are no disadvantages to the oil itself whatsoever. Only disadvantages are availability and price.

I think your 3 selections will all do the job.
Your climate is mild and M1 0w40 would do well in that situation if the oil is available and affordable.

someone to help me choose..
i am very undecided..
P.s. i excluded the Fuchs because it is not available anymore..
So between the above?

I would go for the Motul. It meets a lot more European specifications than the others.
