Thread: D2a oil Question....

Guys IMO RAVE is the same just that Slunnie copied from Workshop manual - Capacities, fluids and lubricants - Lubrication and Philip A from Owner's handbooks - Technical data - Lubricants and fluids which both are in RAVE and actually the info is not contradictory just a bit different

my oppinion is that you can't go wrong with a fully synthetic 5W30/40/50 oil formulated for turbo diesel engines(taking into account that Viscosity/Ambient temp chart too)... even better if it's dedicated for EUI/PD too

Also, if you're still undecided about oils, the comparison charts as mentioned by Rick 130 ( here: Oils - can we set up a definitive list ) can be found here:

The Lubrizol Corporation

Very useful to compare graphically the specs of say an ACEA E9 oil (eg Penrite Enviro+ 10w40) vs API CJ4 oil
