just confirming which oil...

Post by ladyeleanor »

Read the wiki thing and noted that I need 15W40 or 10W40 Diesel/Turbo Diesel Mineral or Semi Synthetic oil... but went to thelocal garage and he says he needs more info?

Am I being think or is this the only info I need?

your local garage is being unhelpful ! Go to Halfords and get some yourself, take it back to him and ask if he wants you to show him where it goes :roll:
