Is this engine oil too cheap to be good?

James2 · Oct 15, 2015

Hi all,

We have just bought a 1997 300tdi 110 CSW and I want to give it a service, as I don't think it have been done for a year. I have bought this OEM service kit and I am now thinking about oil. I came across this oil, which seems great value - maybe too cheap? I have seen this Smith & Allan recommended - any good? The Land Rover has done 230k miles, if that influences the choice.

Thoughts and suggestions welcome.

Many thanks,

James

Smith & Allan seem to be generally regarded as good suppliers,

Thanks all - looks like I might spend the extra and go with the S&A that is better known.
