10/40 as rob said, depending on history/mileage consider semi-synth, though dino should be fine for 3-4000 mile changes.

Niel, 200TDi 110, and 200TDiS disco until collected.

I use Castrol Magnatec Oil in my 200Tdi.
I also use Genuine Parts Oil & Fuel filter.
Did everyone see that?  Because I will NOT be doing it again!
