do you recommend silkolene then? so is 10w50 abit too much then? seeing that in malta in summer were above 30+ degrees? and is ten too thin for cold starts?

Silkolene is very good, but dont know about its availability in malta. 10w-50 is not too much but 10w-40 is just fine. 10w is not too thin for cold start, even in malta.

Cheers

searched for a 10W40 but nothing. maybe I will buy a 10W50 or 15W50. are these two full synthetic or you can find semi synthetic, keeping in mind that theyre silkolene!

thankx mate

The 10w-50 is fine for the car, it's just a bit overkill in a day to day runabout. If there is semi 10w-40 or 15w-50 go for that.
