kingdong2 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 i used castrol 10/40 on my s11a swb 200 tdi and will be doing on my recently aquired disco 300 tdi. what ever oil you use just make sure its got the V A G approval thingy its suposed to be the better oil. graham ____________________ 1962 2a swb 200 tdi. 1997 disco1 300 tdi.

Les Henson Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 At that kind of mileage in a clattery old tractor engine - I'd use 15/40 semi. Les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les sorry it may have been 15/40 as the oil cans have well gone so as the recept as i changed the oil about 6 months ago. graham ________________________ 1962 2a swb 200 tdi. 1997 disco1 300 tdi.

teabag Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 For an engine in good condition 10w40 seems to be the average grade to use in the uk. Have a look at this link and viscosity half way down the page. http://www.carbibles.com/engineoil_bible.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
