Hi all, I've got my first engine oil change coming up since I bought my disco 2 Td5 And wondered what the forum thought about using Halfords own brand ?

Thanks
 
Thanks both, not the most exciting of questions I know......but do I take it you have both used it then ?

Yeah but what about ..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................oh ok
 
Euro car parts do good deals on engine oil with there own triple qx brand. I got 4 x 5ltr 10w 40 for my disco 1 for £40 a couple of years ago. All oil gone now and the disco body is knackered but the engine is still sweet.Passed the mot emissions test no problem :) The rest of the car failed miserably:(
 
Thanks will look it up.....sorry to hear about your disco 1.....will you keep going
Or send it to the disco grave yard.....:amen

I have bought another 300 tdi from an old friend,98 es model with leather seats,nice condition for its age but it has had some welding done already. The old disco I have sorned and will be selling for spares or repair.The engine was rebuilt 7 years ago and has done 30k since then so its in great condition.
 
I don't know why anyone would want to pay more at Halfords when as good as, or better can be bought elsewhere for less :confused:
 
I thought I was done recently £23 for 4.5 ltrs of EP75w90 at a "elsewhere" place and I needed 6 litres, I did realise that oils had gone up the last time I purchased the stuff it was £11. Perhaps as I have a trade card I should have gone to Halfords :D
 
Halfords is too dear

For most things in my experience, excepting hi fi and sat navs stuff

Go to a factor,better oil at less money, Morris, fuchs, all out there, at much less

I use semi synthetic 10/40 in my td5 D2 no ill effects, and doesnt run through an engine like epsom salts the way some 5 /30's do
