Re: alfa-digest V7 #1087 - Oil Weight

[AlfaNeely@domain.elided]

    An oil company representative suggested that you run whatever weight of 
oil was specified in the owner's manual.  I have found that hard advise to 
beat. 
    The older Alfa owner's manuals specified 20W-50.  It seems the one in my 
wife's 91 spider specifies 10W-40.  Being an iconoclast, I run 20W-50 in all 
my Alfas.

 Subject: Oil?
 
 I have a container that was given to me by the previous owner of my 164L,
 containing Selenia 10W40 formula Alfa Romeo. The car was always fed this
 oil. I was under the impression that 20W50 was to be used. Am I correct,
 or should I use the 10W40?
 
 Thanks
