    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.

    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...
    Always looking for creative new ways to get bogged... :whistling:

    76 RR...sold coz fuel was expensive at 70c/l :eek:
    93 200 Tdi Disco...old faithful...sold to make way for...
    99 Td5 Disco ACE...nice drive...hopefully reliable...

    I would rather for the same price use HPR diesel 5. This is what Penrite recommend as it has the right additives for diesels.

    If you want a full synthetic then go for Enviro+ 10w40 which meets the highest diesel rating - Asea E9. This oil is recommend by Rick on this forum. You usually have to order it in eg from Burson.

    Never seen that and been running it for years in a Tdi and TD42T (nee Diesel SP 10W-40)

    The only warning that used to be made was not to use it in a petrol engine, but it's now SM (petrol) rated too.
