Which oil?
« on: 09 January 2008, 19:15:19 »
Hi all.
I had a look through the old posts, but i can't see owt in reverence.
I have a 2.2 DTi  & i'm gona change the oil soon & wanted to know which is best? I do have the owners manual, but i think it's best to ask you guys with the experience  :)
I guess a fully synthetic, because that's what i normally use for my cars, but what grade? I do eight mile to round trip to work & back every day, but a good distance at the weekend.
Any advice greatfully excepted.
Pete

But also be careful and very respectful if you dare to mention 'caravans'. Another dubious discussion area on this forum.  ;D ;D ;D

OK, I admit it, I am the offender, but have now repented. No more oil threads for me.  ;)
