if you went to a garage youd get local motor factor one ,ive never heard of any prolems with that ,but youy can tell when servicing has been less frequent
It'll do more harm than good because it's Castrol.... if the spent the same on developing oils as they did peddling their brands tehy'd make half decent oil.
Why is it not so critical in a TDI? they chuck all sorts of hydrocarbons into the oil, run at extremely high pressures and are worked damn hard. Personally I'd rather spend a bit more on oil than replace an engine... but that's just me...
We use SHPD E7 or somthing equilivent so I guess it was semi. Somthing with a decent Temp range for Turbo diesels. Change regularly every year at least or every 6-8k miles.
Not too expensive. You don't need £30 a gallon stuff. With oil and much in life the brand costs more than the product. I think the last 25 litre drum we got was around £55-60 quid from a trade warehouse.
similar to this but E7,
Carlube Motor Oil - 15w40 Mineral Fleet Oil Mineral Fleet Oil
James use the quote button you forgot how to use it????????????why ,a lot of people service car once a year and its generally under stood to be similar lieage to what jai says
thats the best spelled piece youve posted for a while john and thats from me ,getting some to change oils in axles ,gear boxes etc isnt easy yearly is easier to remember and is what alot seem to do when it comes to servicing higher mileage users tend to go with mileageJames use the quote button you forgot how to use it????????????
It took me awhile to realize you brits don't drive much.Before I retired was changing oil in one truck every 7-8 weeks So it takes a bit to get used to some one only driving 6-8000 miles a year
