« on: June 03, 2006, 11:17:28 »
Have a 1.8 V reg Freelander, want to do an oil and filter change.

Oil specification
For petrol engines:
10W/40 engine oil meeting
RES.22.OL.G4 or ACEA A2:96.

For diesel engines:
10W/40 or 15W/40 engine oil
meeting RES.22.OL.PD2 or
ACEA B2:96

Oils manufactured to the above
specifications are suitable for
use in temperatures between
-20° C to +30° C (if climatic
temperature falls outside these
limits, seek advice from your
dealer).
Mixing oil additives with the
engine oil is not recommended
and could damage the engine.
