I would imagine this has been covered before But is any one using any differant oil other than Castrol edge 5w40  Current Stable:

Ford Focus C-Max silver 2003
V/W transporter Blue 1995

Kawasaki ZX7R Green 1998
Honda CBR 600 Black 1998

Slightly off topic, but if you are using the Castrol (I did) - There's 31% off the price at Eurocarparts at the moment ..

Used it twice now and meets the min specs and seems happy on it

I do try and change diesel oil between 6-10k though and never ever let it get near what lr/any manufacturer thinks is acceptable of 20k+ as its pure nasty stuff then ;( FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

But if you include the delivery charge for 10 litres, the Castrol only works out about £2.50 more

But you get less of it as you need at least 9 to do the td6  FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

20 lts from Watsons Lubricants (premium synthetic 5 w 30) = £50.80. I cannot understand why people keep getting their oils from Hellfrauds at extorsionate prices !

Just check the handbook and see which one would suit you best for your use

My engine often gets warmed up to a good temp sitting in traffic often to work and back so the 5w40 was my choice best protection in warmer climes  FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

Ive been using Unipart FS 5w40 for some years, meets the full BMW oil spec..... its the same as Fuchs TITAN but i can get 2x5lts from my local Unipart shop for £44............and i change the oil arround the 6k mark

I take on board the Halfrauds comment.

I've been using it for nearly 6 years now, and none of the cars used any oil during my tenure, so am a little bit hesitant to try something different.

If Castrol Edge was that price for 5 litres instead of 4, I'd probably use that.

May decide to have an open mind..........keeping an eye on views here....... 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

Forgot there was only 4ltrs in the Castrol ...

Mobil 1 here, 5 litres from Costco is 30 quid. 4 litres of Edge is the same. Both conform to the same specs making it a no-brainer...  2003 Vogue TD6/1992 Classic 300TDi/2x 1991 Golf GTI/1966 Volkswagen Kombi/2x 1968 Volkswagen Kombi/Probably something I've forgotten...

I'm swinging towards Mobil 1 for my next change now.

Need to either join Costco or purchase off the internet then.........

Do they only do the 0w 40 ? 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

I think it's the 5w40 Turbo Diseasel stuff I got. There's enough left over for topping up between changes if need be. 2003 Vogue TD6/1992 Classic 300TDi/2x 1991 Golf GTI/1966 Volkswagen Kombi/2x 1968 Volkswagen Kombi/Probably something I've forgotten...

I ended up with 20ltrs of 5w40 delivered to my door from Watsons lubricants for £67 the correct speck for my ffrr  Current Stable:
