    Sorry Cap'n, but how many cylinders do you have?

    From various reports on here the best oil for the Td5 is actually a semi-synthetic. Penrite HPR Diesel 5 (5W-40). Penrite Oil | HPR DIESEL 5 5W-40 (Semi Syn.)

    Thats all I've used in mine for the last 100,000Km, no idea what the previous owners used, and no oil usage between oil changed (10,000Km).
