Another 1 for Penrite 5W/40.
15W is probablly a bit heavy. Even in really hot environments I believe you should only go to a 10W. I generally avoid 0W oils in the Defender as they are a bit light for warm environments for the TD5. I do use 0W in the Satesman and BMW.
What about Valvoline NextGen Diesel?
If you want to buy this stuff from SuperCheap when it's on special, sign up at the SC web site, and add the products/s you use to your watch list, then from your a/c tick the "email me when on special" box ..... :)
Buy when it's on special, NOT when you need it NOW.
What do people think about running HPR5 full synthetic in a Td5 rather than HPR5 Diesel semi-synth. HPR5 is recommended for petrols and light diesels and was the same price as HPR Diesel at my local Super Cheap...
Can't see an issue.

HPR5 on sale @ Repco in current catalogue.
Offer Detail
I would rather for the same price use HPR diesel 5. This is what Penrite recommend as it has the right additives for diesels.Quote:
