Hi,
Having to do the engine oil twice a year (every 6 months) in my Defender 200Tdi and G/f's Disco 300Tdi which is probably about 30L (give or take) of oil a year with top ups. it gets pretty expensive for oil, well at halfrauds prices it does!!
But the girlfriends dad works at a hydraulics place and can get me 15/40 oil in a 25L tub at trade price for £21 a tub (labled as their own.) (they sell it to public for £40 a tub)
On the tub it says, Fleet engine oil 15/40 for NA Diesel engines, turbo Diesel engines and petrol engines... it does have the standard on the label but i cant remember it of the top of my head!
They use it in all their cars (diesels) and they seem ok and his astra 1.7D has done 350k miles and still goes very well (not even a puff of smoke comes from it)
Do you rekon its ok to use or could it be some cheapo stuff to avoid ?
Or use it but change more often ?
cheers
Dan
