eng oil change

was looking around for engine oil to suit the td5 and came across this, seems a very good price but is it suited.






DELVAC 1 ESP 5W-40

Others will know more but its got an ACEA e7 rating, which is a lot higher / better than the required b2. ( I believe that B is becoming obsolete? ) Synthetic - tick. B2 or greater - tick. Other stuff - others to comment.

Any recommendation for the Td5 in the full synth range

Diesel 5 is only a semi synthetic oil. Synthetic is more stable from new to old. I use Penrite 5W-40 full synthetic.

that represents about $3 difference per litre but the delvac out performs on the spec side, worth the extra if bought in bulk.

The other Penrite option is Enviro+ 10w40 which is a fully synthetic extended life ACEA E9 diesel oil, as recommend by Rick130. Worth the extra $? maybe not for a TD5 with oil changes every 15k km vs a prime mover.

Ok went for the Delvac 1 at the price and spec it out performs all plus the local supplier wanted $470 where as lowes did it for $308 landed here in Perth. Would it unreasonable to extend the service interval to 15k.
