Hi,
been reading posts about oil and there seems to be some disparity between engine oil choice and grade. I need a top up of oil and would be interetsed to know what brand and type people recommend? New RRS

Castrol - its written on the filler cap - LR sell it for £6 ish for 1L

Yes but which Castrol. GTX , magnatec 5/30w or 5/40w? New RRS

Castrol GTX magnatec 5w / 30, is definately the correct oil for the TDV6. ( Does it not say the grade on your oil filler cap?). Halfrauds at £25 odd for 4.5 litres (was £21 odd on offer a while back) is probably the most economic way of buying it,(unless you are in the trade) or dealer will sell you a litre for £6 or £7ish.
