Hi
I would use a 5w-40 synthetic as the best option. http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx Out of those, the best ones are the Fuchs/Silkolene Pro S, Millers CFS/CFS NT, Motul 300V, Red Line and Gulf Competition. The Motul 8100 X-Cess, Millers XF Longlife, Fuchs GT1 XTL/Supersyn, Gulf Formula G/ULE, Shell Helix and Mobil Super 3000 are good, cheaper alternatives. As a budget choice, a 10w-40 will be fine and I would either go for the Fuchs Syn MC, Shell Helix, Millers Trident/EE Nanodrive, Castrol Magnatec, Mobil Super 2000 or Motul 6100 http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-657-10w-40.aspx Cheers Tim Use the code DEF2 and get 10% Club Discount View Opie Oils Current Offers Here > > oilman's website: http://www.opieoils.co.uk/ - register for news and offers email: sales@opieoils.co.uk phone: 01209 202944 |

Hi I am anther Defender owner caught in the oil maze
Make - Land Rover Model - Defender TD5 (15P engine) Year - 2001 Mods - re map Use (road/track etc) - light use mostly road I have 10150 mls on the clock now and I wonder if it would make sense to use a 5 - 40 full synth oil instead of the 5 - 30 I saw the Halfords oils on offer recently and if you look at the Safety data sheets the oils are clearly made by Comma they have a 5 - 30 Ford and a 5 - 40 ACEA A3 B4, would these be OK? |

Hi
Does it burn much oil? If it's not burning much, stick with a 5w-30. If the oil consumption has gone up, a 5w-40 or 10w-40 is a sensible option.

I just looked at the page, while they have the oils I need to do proper oil changes, they unfortunately do not ship to where I am right now. Bummer.

Hi A full synthetic is the best option for it, but a semi is a suitable cheaper option. You need 6.3-7.2L.

Hi
Not sure why it's not listing oils, I assume it's because there are a couple of options, depending on if it has a diesel particulate filter or not. Does yours have a DPF?
