Will Vx oil be ok in Rangey??
« on: 30 January 2008, 19:24:01 »
Since I we have had Range Rovers in our Family I have being usin Morris Oil (semi synthetic) that costs about £19 for 5ls, and I need 7.5l for the car, so i buy two, then 1 the next time....
But i got a few tubes when there was a sale on in Vx so just wondering if it will be ok to use in the Rangey?

Oh and will the red anti-freeze be ok too??

oil - if it meets the spec (api etc type ratings) ;)

I use it in Omegas, Rover, Kawasaki, and the Audis....

VX Semi will be fine in a Rover V8, as will the coolant. Just give it a good flush beforehand to get rid of any old coolant.

Just had a look the Morris is 15w 50 (thought it was semi syn but doesn't say :-?) ACEA A2/B2

Vx says 10w 40 ACEA A3/B3

does that make sense to anyone??

A3 is a newer specification than A2, and superior.

It's a thinner oil, of course, but a RV8 will be fine on 40 visc.
