    Exactly my point Willow.. Why buy engine oil developed for F1 race cars running @ 16000rpm or whatever.. just to put it in a diesel engined road car? as long as it meets the manufactuers recommended spec it will do the job. Obviuosly there are other criteria to take into consideration...

    AC DELCO 10W/40 SEMI SYNTHETIC OIL A3/B3 £7-99 5Litres. AC DELCO 10W/40 SEMI SYNTHETIC O Meets Land Rovers Recommended Spec's. Why pay £30, £40, or £50? for something that will only do the same job.

    freeelander td4 engine oil make and grade

    10w-40 spec B3. is the important bit. pays ya money and takes your choice on brand.. I use part-synthetic as oppose to full. Fully synthetic seems to be overkill to me.
