Looks like it fulfills the reqt of my 2.1 litre diesel Sprinter van AND my 1.0 L Seat petrol car!

If so I can but this one can for both and few litres left for top-ups.


Thoughts?

Time for yet another oil debate

I wouldn't worry so much with older vehicles as long as the weight's correct. The sales blurb says it's for all modern diesel and petrol engines but I suspect they are assuming the engine's already "broken in".

If the API rating is equal to or better than the vehicle requirements and the viscosity is correct, I'd put it in.

Diesel specific oil has a higher detergent content to help deal with carbon fouling.

Yes, I was annoyed when I got a car that needed anything other than 10w40, or 20w50 or 15w40 of which I use on all my cars/bikes but the new one called for 5w30. Just another damn type of oil to add to my supplies. I think I have 10 different oils and weights now, mostly in the 20l.

Meh.. I bought it. It seem to meet both tech requirements and my own req't that the best oil is clean new oil.

20L, hmmm.

If my truck blows 3.5l of oil out of the exhaust for every 1000 miles travelled and I'm doing 900 miles a week, how many weeks would a drum this size last me?
