10w40,15w/40 all okay,better to get slightly higher detergent as in van/fleet oil from local motor factors
 
My 300TDI has used Castrol Diesel Magnatec 10W40 since the main dealer re-filled the engine with it at the initial 1000-mile change and I have used the same stuff ever since. I change it every 6-months (usually about 2-3K miles) and it has never given me any cause for concern. I buy from Costco as they usually charge only slightly more for 8L than places like Halfords charge for 4L.

Just treated my 300Tdi Disco to a dealer service today and they used Castrol Magnatec 10W40. Looks like I got charged for 10 litres, though. Oh well.

Cheers,

Chris.
 
Just reading the invoice, it says:

Magnatec 10w40- 1/10 (?)
Qty 68.0
Unit price 0.70
Total 42.84 (+VAT)

Does that help?

Cheers,

Chris.
 
Makes sense :)

I've been using tractor oil since I worked for a farmer a few years back and I thought if it's good enough for his £100k combine harvester it's got to be good enough for an old landie..........and it's a bugger load cheaper anorl :).
