Yeah it's not the most up to date engine around but it was still designed with multigrade oils in mind for your engine Castrol list a 10W-40 so when the oil is hot it will be the same viscosity as the Castrol R40 it's just that the R40 will be too thick when it gets cold 10W is the cold...

Castor oil does smell nice the trouble with Castrol R is that it's a classic car racing oil and usually a monograde low detergent oil i.e Castrol R40. They don't use it in modern racing as the Hydrotreated,PAO and Ester based synthetic oils outperform them. for some classic racing applications...

My 97 300tdi handbook was printed at least 11 years ago sometimes oils that are originally specified are superceded to higher spec or different viscosity ones so the oils in my handbook will be out of date the lube advisor tools are always up to date so worth using best regards

lol fair enough the information is there if you want it regards

Good oil mate they have a similar tool http://www.valvolineeurope.com/english/products/for_consumers/cars_and_vans/finding_the_right_oil

Cheers Rob my pleasure mate ;)

sorry i don't bother looking in the series, freelander and range rover sections so i thought others might do the same

Have a look at the lube advisor tools i've posted mate should help you out with the oil choice

It's easy to underestimate the importance of using the right oil and easy to buy the wrong oil so i thought these different lube advisor tools would help us, a lot of you already use them but some might not know about them. Welcome to the Comma Oil & Chemicals Ltd. Website go to application...

They must have done something because they defo only list MTF94 for the R380 box from Jan 98 onwards Here's some application links Welcome to the Comma Oil & Chemicals Ltd. Website go to application and select the vehicle but take note of the footnotes (f,g) f. Transfer box LT 230/230Q: 2.3...

Very true I did recognise it from somewhere but couldn't put my finger on it I know Comma quite well because i used to work for a motor factors, they're ok actually. I'd go for their oil over this Ovoline tractor oil everyone keeps buying any day. I just thought as you'd posted a Castrol...

MTF94 is only for 1998 onwards R380 94 - 98 is ATF P

not quite sure what the TFQ is, is that from another brand? If he's going to Halfords he'll probably buy Castrol or Mobil, Mobil is the better of these two Castrol Syntrax Universal for the diffs and transfer box Castrol TQ-D for the gearbox Castrol Magnatec Diesel 10W-40/Edge Turbo Diesel...

A man after my own heart Shell gear oils have a tendancy to reduce noise anyway from experience the BG fuel system cleaners are defo worth a go just to get your engine back to it's original state Wynns, Forte or BG engine flush will de carbonize the crankcase side and BG will do combustion...

yeah don't bother mate i've seen the demo kit in my local motor factor, it's a bit of a con, they all claim to improve lubrication and quiet gears to be honest you are better off spending the money on better oil if you wanna improve your engine performance have a look at BG products Power...
