oil type

[tomsneade]

Hi, I HAVE checked elsewhere AND my little hand book, but I just can't find what grade/type of engine oil to put in my 1985 t25 1600 diesel van ( EVEN HALFORDS tech staff could not help)...and we are off to France in the morning ! I would be eternally grateful for any answers ! Many thanks , Tom. (oh, and can it be purchased at any filling station or is it like rocking horse sh*t ! )

Found in the 'WIKI' up there ^^^^

"Diesels

15w40 or 10w40, and an oil suited for Diesel engines. As noted earlier in this page, many modern oils are suitable for either petrol or diesel (read the label) but most 80/90 members feel that its best to find an oil that is primarily for diesel and preferably for Turbo diesel

Change it regularly....every 4 - 6 thousand miles (oil filter every other if you are a frequent changer).
