Will have a look in Halfords I'll re-post answer in about 45 mins, need to go check some other prices anyway :)

Halfords own 5w-30 (non-synthetic) is £18.99 don't know if that helps....

[quohead]

Halford 5w-30 is ok for yaris petrol but not diesel. The spec is different, even though its still a 5w-30 oil. Unless Toyota are pulling a fast one. Are there any technicians out there who would know.

Cheers

U can use ANY oil with the same characteristics.Original oils are usually just more expensive(example: ARAL for VW TDi is very expensive).I doubt that non-original OIL can harm your engine.

Example:in my country TOYOTA recommend Castrol.

Try www.difflock.com

This is mainly a 4x4 site, but they have an excellent online store and specialize in Ovoline lubricants. I have found their service very good, and their advice very helpful.

Re; Oil for D4D turbo

Personaly the best I've found without going mad is.

Comma, Euro Diesel, Semi Synthetic 15/40

Has spec API CF4. need not go any more expensive, just paying for the name.

This oil is also produced by Comma for Unipart, VW and others, only in different bottles.

This will do nicely.

By the way, does anybody fancy a weeks holiday in MALTA. 5 Star appt' in St, Pauls Bay. Over looking the Bay itself, Self Catering Apt' in Very large Hotel complex.

Be quick, this Sat 26th April to Sat 3rd May.

E.Mail for info. Must be quick...
