What oil does a 300tdi need?

I have an oil seal gone in the engine and it dribbles out oil out the wading plug. I will get it sorted once I move but havent got time whilst I am in this house. So for the time being I need to keep topping the oil up. I have got a £6.99 tub of 50w20 oil in my shed I bought about 6 months ago. Will this be ok for the disco?

Comma produce a semi-synthetic 10/40 or 15/40 called something like Diesel Lite which mine is happy on, and is reasonably priced. Mind you I do plan on changing the oil reasonably often so don't mind using the cheaper stuff.

Thats a pitty as I now have 5 litres of 20w 50!!  anyone got a v8 they want to put it in??? :lol:

All the 15w40 and 10w 40 are expensive for the fact it is about to come back out the engine tomorrow. Oh well. It wont be as expensive as a siezed up engine!!!

I am in Reading at the moment.

I maybe in Banbury for a night on Thursday 5th July. To be honest it only cost me £6.99 so probably not worth the effort too meet up as I bet you will use more than £6.99 worth of petrol getting there!!!
