What Oil
What oil do people use in theyre HDI's i always used 10/40 but i read it needs 5/40 is this correct
Re: What Oil
Most people use 10w40.
I used 10w40 in a fleet of 30 HDi I used to look after and I use 10w40 in my own HDi.
There are alternatives, if you want to use 5w40 that's up to you.
If your HDi has a particulate filter (FAP system), then you should be using an oil that is particulate filter friendly....look in the knowledge base for a link.

Re: What Oil
There is a 2.0 110 FAP listed in Service Box but we've yet to stumble across one on here.

Re: What Oil
I think they're now standard on all diesels to keep the emissions within the current stupid European bum hole regulations.

"Understeer" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"Oversteer" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"Horsepower" is how fast you hit the fence.
"Torque" is how far you take the fence with you.

Re: What Oil
Nothing wrong with 5w40, nothing wrong with 10w40.
The particulate filter friendly oil is 5w30 which I use in my 407 HDi.
