Hi has any one used this oil triple qx 5w30 fully synthetic or is it a no no.
For the 2.7 TDV6 2007

Yes I have used it with no problems at all
Towed caravan to Cornwall and back
Ok no issues but I change oil twice a year
Just to make sure

Is this not the cheap Eurocar parts own brand of oil ? Never used it myself but I'm of the thinking, If your not sure if it's any good to use just buy something you know is ok if only to give yourself peace of mind. 2017 SVR. SVO Scafell grey Ebony interior
2012 3.0 SDV6 Autobiography santorini black with ebony/cirrus interior. Gone

Used it in my TD5 for years no problems though the 5 cyl diesel engine is a totally different to a TDV 6. If it ain't broken down it soon will
Pulling my Vanmaster tin tent with my 2005 RED RRS HSE TDV6
1973 Land Rover Series 3 110 safari Gone but not forgotten
1990 Discovery 200Tdi Gone thank god
1996 Discovery 300Tdi sadly missed
2003 Discovery TD5 Gone to LR heaven
2004 Discovery TD5 Gone to Aberdeen hope it likes it there
2005 RRS HSE Rimini Red (my Disco 3 in a posh frock) sadly selling
Think I see a pattern here

oh ok guys thanks for the replys, think ill give it a miss as i only want to change oil once a year or untill i ran the quoted miles for a change . But im guessing it would be ok if you dump your oil regularly .twice a year.

Smarttech i read on a forum that it is made by shall under a diffrenet name .thats why i asked. but think ill stick to a known brand for a few quid more. but interested to see what others think.thanks

Does it say A3 or C3 or similar on it ?


If you want a cheap oil try granvile C3 5W30

Rather than the cheapest Oil out there...Whats the very best for the engine ?

I'd rather pay a bit more and have peace of mind that I'm giving the engine the best possible chance of a long life...?

Oil is a very subjective thing. Not many people know that oil X is better than oil Y.

There are however plenty of people/manufactures only too happy to take lots of money off you claiming theirs is a
Superior oil.

As ever regular changes and using a grade recommend by the manufacture is usually more cost effective, espically when doing the work yourself.

agreed but research is required

i have used the below company for my old MB C240 before. Not sure if they give discount for LR but if you put
MBCLUB in the promo section you will get a discount.

The triple qx 5w30 fully synthetic is a c3 oil and to meets the requirements for tdv6 with or without a dpf. It also meets some vw, bmw, Ford and Mercedes specs.
I have used the oil before for a few years in many cars without problem.
I am currently using shell ultra professional for the past 2 years same specs but includes dexos 2 for Vauxhall also without problem never had a car back from either oil.
Just been offer comma oil also same specs for £290 for 200 litres so may give this a try soon .
Most oil like the fuel you buy is all made from the same base line ingredients and is just given different additives to the meet The specs required for price and brand etc.
The key is regular changes and keeping to the service schedules

Nothing wrong with it! Good price for 2 gallons of it. I change my oil every 5k or so anyways so doesnt matter

I used it in my tdv8 before changing to Fuchs 07,TDV8,Black, Black Heated leather all round, Rear Entertainment with Headpones & Remote, TV, DVD, Pure Dab Digital Radio, Sidesteps, Adaptive Headlights, sunroof, now working fuel burning heater )))
