Hi Guys, Ive seen it before that people recommend to use 15/40 Diesel oil as apposed to the LR recommended 10/40 - 10/30 petrol oil depending on which auto spares place you go to. Anyone got any ideas of which oil is best for me to run in my 04 V8 Vogue :confused:
 
Check your manual. Page 273.

You can use lots of oil.

I recently changed mine and took ages to decide. I finally went for GM 5w/30 fully synthetic that will be changed every 7.5k. It's cheap on trade club and good oil.

It also meets all the spec for the right oil.
 
V8 engine oil:

Long life or fully synthetic oil.

ACEA - A3/B3; API: SJ, ECII and then choose viscosity band for temperature range of your locality. So 5/30 5/40 10/40 would be popular choices.

The M62 Runs quite hot from memory the stat opens at 106c I run a 5W50 in the M62's I work with and they sound superb on the stuff..
Far better than 5w30 or 40..
