Hi guys

I bought 2 x 4lts of Castrol magnatec ( green can ) today to service my 90 200tdi and it said on the can for petrol and diesel engines and when I got home and started servicing it i found an old can in my garage of magnatec again in a ( green can ) and it said for diesel engines, is the petrol / diesel stuff ok for my 90

if you go to castrol web site there is a oil selector and you put your reg number in and it tells you what oil , amount etc
