The triple Q.X oil..buy one get one free until midnight....question is....is it any good for the desmond .. :-\

Buy the right grade and it will be fine. The important thing with diesel oil is to change it frequently.

Many manufacturers state similar numbers, but it's never been good for long term durability. £20 worth of oil twice a year is far more economical than a new turbo(or engine caused by turbo failure if you're really unlucky) at 80,000 miles for example.

I'm sticking with main dealer services for the first 4 years. They're not that expensive and it preserves the 4 year warranty. I agree that may cause problems later in the car's life but, as she only does 10,000 miles per annum and we never keep a car more than five years, it will be someone else's problem.

My astra was serviced about 14000 miles ago and no top up needed yet.

I believe this figure is based on plenty of long distance travel.

If most of your mileage consists of 'taking the whippet for a walk' then the oil should be changed more frequently.
