OIL FOR 2.0 HDi 110?

[chrisk]

Not picked my new 406 up yet but gonna get some basic service parts ready to do the job. I was in Asda today and they had some Mobil S 10W40 Semi Synthetic oil, reduced from £22 down to £10, so I grabbed it......will this be OK for my 53' 2.0 HDi 110?

[hammerman]

Yes should be fine.I used to use fully syn 5/40,but then switched to 10/40 semi.Have done now for 60k odd miles.

I've used 10W40 or 15W40 semi synth diesel in my last 150k of HDi miles. (Don't know if the diesel / turbo diesel bit means owt, but it can't hurt).

Is the oil specific to diesel or petrol?

[Gary406]

no most good oils these days are sutable for petrol and diesel engines , the oil i get from pug total quartz 7000 can be used in both ,,,,

[Gary406]

but that mobil is a bargain at £10, think i will be taking a trip to asda 2moro to see if i can pick 1 up

[Gary406]

asda sold out everywere, thought they may have at that price,

[chrisk]

It did seem like a very good buy and with Mobil 1 for £15 too......not surprised the shelf was empty after i'd taken the last one

[Gary406]

oh well, stick to the usuall TOTAL QUARTZ 7000 from dealers, i get that for £15 anyway but thought i would try and save a fiver
