Hi guys, we have just purchased a 2002 Defender with 140K on the clock. It is in as new condition. As I am a home spanner man I will be undertaking most if not all of my servicing and maintenance. My question is what is the best engine oil for the TD5.

I am going fully synthetic from all the reports i have been hearing.
Also coolblues- you are able to edit your posts. I'm not being smart, i just see that you are relatively new and may not know.
