Best Engine Oil For 150Bhp Diesel?

[benxt5]

The check oil level light came on today, and last night. Car has done 4k miles so I didn't think it would use that much. The handbook says 5w30 but the book in Halfords says 0w30 for 2009 onwards and 5w30 for pre, fully synthetic.

Just wondered what he right one was and if there was any preference on brand.

I put a litre of Castrol edge 0w30 in, going on what the Halfords book said.

0w30 for sure, mate, and look on eBay and shop about like a Londoner.......not cheap fluid.

Damn right! £17 for a litre! I did "red laser" it while in the shop and nowhere else was listed any less than halfrauds for the one litre.

You need Mobil 1 0/30 ESP if you have a particulate filter.
