Hi Peeps

I have been given 15 litres of Napa BM 0W-30 ECO LS oil that I was going to use to flush the engine but am now thinking it's a bit too good for that. Any oil guru's on here know if it's compatible with the TD6 engine please? Their website says it's good for BMW engines after 2014.

Cheers

Brian
 
It seems a bit skinny for the TD6, usual recommended is 5W/30, 5W/40, 5W/50 or 10W/40 meeting specification ACEA: A3 and B3

I was just thinking I've not seen anything from you for a while and up you pop:D
May just use it for a flush then even though it should be £30 for 5 litres.

Shame to use it for a flush, if it is still sealed flog it and get proper stuff for the TD6.....

I am trying to get more time online in between work and kids...like most other peeps life is hectic at the moment. But I still keep my eye on the board at times when I can.

Even fella, after moving out west and then moving even further out west, I am hoping we have finished all the moving about for a long while. We love the place we are at the moment in North Dorset in a lovely old farm house next to a dairy farm, about 1.5 miles outside a village and we have one neighbour and they are 200 yards up the road then no one until the village. beautifully remote....which suits me as I am a grumpy sod!

Eurocraparts recommend Castrol Edge 0W-30 C3 as well as 5w-30 but don't think I'll risk it.
