Briggie, if my grandkids start that chav speak they soon find themselves losing there sweets and pocket money, or my usual reply is 'I'm sorry, I only speak English'

I thought I read that 5-30 semi synth was what it should have I better go look again:doh

 

[trophymick]

I think for the UK climate, 10/40, 15/40 or 15/50 is the best choice, either semi synthetic or mineral. That's what range I would be looking for according to the manual, I have a 2001 2.7 diesel.

15w40

 

[rustic]

15w40

Yep I use that or 10w15, or mixture of both depending what was left from last oil change.
Oh... semi synthetic depends when Tesco or Asda have it on offer, I usually stock up. BUT I always use Castrol.

Did I say I have been doing this for 18 years too...:doh


best regards,

15/4o mineral we chuck in 360 and shovel at work theres a few thoughts on here the older trucks run better on mineral
Think plank has done a lot of thinking on the subject

As for filters, I buy genuine

 

[stinka]

Semi is fine, mines done 150k is sweet as a nut, no ticks or rattles and no smoke at all on semi

 

[mr tickle]

Cheapest 15w/40 is best DO NOT USE full synthetic.

I buy all 3 filters (oil,air and fuel) from milners 4x4 online at £9 a go.
Never had any problems in the last few years.

I ordered a service kit from Milners today including Fuchs 10w40 semi and a rocker cover gasket so I can do the valve clearances, hopefully it will come tomorrow or Friday so I can give it a birthday.

Iv'e had my rocker box cover off a few times, and still on the original gasket.
No sign of any leaks. :thumb2

Take care you don't loose the "o" ring seals on the fixing bolts.:nenau

I did my service yesterday but didnt get the clearances done because of the weather, will have to wait for better weather.
The fuel filter was only half full when I took it off, had a quick check of fuel lines but couldnt find any dampness anywhere?
