Working in the haulage industry, I am able to get fully synthetic oil for my Disco.

I just changed the oil twice to start with as a method of flushing it out, then changed the filter and replace with nice fresh oil. And she seems to run perfectly on it ( as did my last one!!)

I've had odd experience with Synthetic oils..

tried some and the motor loved them, tried others and it was almost as if I'd kicked him in the nads and then questioned his parentage.

then again, I drive a 2/1/4 .. hell it'd be happy enough on marmite.
