Been given some diesel engine oil today , can i use it in my td4 ? 5 litres of petronas urania FE , fully synthetic 5w 30 , ACEA E7/E4 for Iveco trucks , I hope so as its not very often i get a gift
The book says:
Use a 0W/30, 5W/30, 5W/40, 5W/50, 10W/30, 10W/40, or 10W/60 oil meeting specification ACEA: A3 and B3, and having a viscosity band recommended for the temperature range of your locality.
The interweb says: http://www.acea.be/images/uploads/pub/070308_ACEA_sequences_2007_LD_and_HD.pdf
all depends on the air temperature the vehicle of where it is operating at
0w/05 would be Antarctic and 10w/60 the desert with 130f temp

I guess that's why they added "viscosity band recommended for the temperature range of your locality."
Thanks for that chaps , I use motaquip MXQ 5w/40 fully synthetic , every 6 months , so for the next change i will do what sing advised and buy a litre of 5w/30 fully synthetic oil , it was the ACEA E7/E4 that made me ask the question
how many miles will it be?

Hi , dont do a lot of miles , but mostly cold starts and short journeys , the cars nearing 65,000 , i do 3,000 miles in the 6 months , more or less , but every car i have owned , the oil has been changed every 6 months !
