Hi Guys,

A very simple one: Im changing oil and filter on my 123-200. It has the old 115 Engine. I have always changed with good quality 10w/40 as in the owners manual.
Someone told me i should use a thicker oil as the engine is older now??

Cheers

Jay

i would continue using a good 10w/40 oil,german and swedish do a synthetic base oil for 12 pounds.

there is also a 15w/40 mineral base oil,which is thicker,at german and swedish for about 9 pounds.

i found both oils suitable from my experience
