Somewhere lurking in the depths of my mind is the thought that before you can change to fully synthetic oil from mineral you need to do something - flush the engine out, maybe?
Does anyone know what I'm talking about, because I don't!

Used it in my 2.6 for the last 2 years didn't do anything before using it, never had to top up in between so seems ok to me.

Nope.

Some coolants need flushing through when changing to long life.

Just bought 2x4l cans of 10w40 semi synth from my local Helfrods, £5.99 each ;D obviously priced wrong on the bar code, but if anyone is near Horsham, fill your boots :y

Might actually pick up some more tomorrow...
