Caltex Delo 400

Is this a good oil to use in the v8?

[incisor]

have used it in my v8 disco and now in the rangie for motor and gearbox etc....

started out using penrite but moved to delo 400

if motor is getting a bit worn i use havoline 20-50

and if badly worn penrite 20-60 ..

I have 60000 kms on my 8, so its good to go then.

I just can't seem to get away from you, Riceburner! ;)

....just remember that the Delo 400 / Gold / Silver range are hi-detergent oils, so make the first filter change very early, as all the crud in the engine will be flushed out.

i do all my changes at 5000k as a matter of habit...

wasteful i know, but its my money....

Yep, skimping on oil is silly compared to the cost of an engine rebuild. I don't trust the manufacturer's claimed service intervals anyway, considering their vested interest in selling spares once your engine blows.....:eek:
