Best Engine Oil?

For my 1990 110CSW 2.5td?

10w40? 15W40?

Castrol GTX Diesel oil?
Halfords 15w40?

Ovoline Diamond? That's if I can find any in Kent........

Mineral? Semi Synth? Fully Synth?

What's gonna be best to keep the bugger running once the weather turns more ****e?

Ovoline Tractor Universal 10W-40W.
From your local Agricultural Merchants.
Top quality oil, but packaged and marketed for farmers, so much cheaper than Halfrauds.

I heard this stuff does wonders

I found 10-40 a bit thin for my Tdi, took it back out after only 3k miles and replaced it with some 15-40 tractor engine oil called Turbo-Gold which is about £30 for a 20 litre drum (cheaper than one oil change using Halfrauds oil)

Thanks gents!

Can't find Ovoline in Kent so far.
I've found the Carlube Gold Turbo Diesel, but only in 1 litre bottles!
I'll keep looking......

always wondered why it smelt like that.

If you just want some engine oil then ovoline universal tractor oil is ok

It's not exactly top quality because it's a Fuchs second brand so additive package will be reduced.

Go for a 15w/40 in the older OneTen turbo diesel, Shell list a product called Rimula R3 X with an added note stating:

a.HELIX PLUS 10W-40 / HELIX SUPER 15W-40 also approved but oil change interval is halved

So the oil obviously needs something a little bit extra to cope with life inside the TD engine otherwise they would just list helix plus 10/40(semi synth) and helix super 15w/40 (mineral) as equal alternatives.
