2015 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 HT Montalcino Red

Oil change today

After now doing just over 2.5k miles on the 3.2 I changed the oil

Think I need my own oil rig 10 litres of the finest 5-30

Does sound nicer though with the new oil

obviously you wont go this far on oil but the great thing with the 3.2 in the Transit is 30k service intervals

& although you have the expense of the second oil filter works out cheaper than the 4 cylinders which are 20k intervals . The 2.2 holds a similar amount of oil in the Transit, is this the same in the Defender ?
