Hi Guys and Girls,,,,I am a new member and just finding my way around this great site. I recently bought a Range Rover Vogue 300 TDI ,2005,and would like to change the engine oil and filter. Can anyone suggest my best option for oil,without going for expensive "Mobil" products ?

Is it wise to use a "Low Ash" oil,,also,does this engine have a particulate filter?

You are called lubeman and you need to ask about oil :confused:

:D

Any Semi 10w40 :) If you buy in bulk you will get it cheaper, I got 25L of Carlube for £53 from Motor Part Direct. Spending £40 for 4L is a waste of money as you will be dumping it before its has had any real use. Of course you might be able to extend the service intervals with a better oil but I havent tested this so couldnt recommend it.
 
Thanks for your advice,,,I asked the question because every vehicle has different requirements ,and the Castrol website does not quote for my vehicle.I want the best alternative to a dealership charging me £12 a litre for Mobil One

I was gonna say that but I always get :eek::eek::eek: response, so I'll just say........

Large drums of inexpensive, multifunctional, agricultural machine lubricant :p

and change it regularly.

Your very welcome Lubeman, If you been looking at the forum much you'll notice that all newbee's get a proding when they start posting, especialy as a question that is regualy asked, and gives the answer many times on other threads.

I notice you looked on the Castrol website..... did you check any others, from your 1st post in theis thread it looks like you a sepcialist in lubrication

Tuskenraider said semi 10w40
I say universal tractor oil

and we're curious if you've got your engine model right as the 300tdi was never fitted in the l322? stop moaning, it's how this place works. you won't find better advice on the net, or better **** taking:p

Ungrateful ****s **** me off.
 
So someone doesnt know what engine is in his car and WE are the ****ers :confused: :D

Oh and if you are still reading this then Castrol does quote for your vehicle and it says to use Castrol Edge 5w40 and you need 8.8L of it ;)

Merry Xmas :welcome2:
