Title: Oil....... but what type?
Post by: Rob. on 26 September 2006, 09:32:06

Hi guys, I'm sure it's probably been asked a million times but with my computer skills I just can't find the answer  :-[ can anyone tell me what type of oil I should use in my 2.5TD.
Also how much oil, I'm sure it's going to be more than a 5 litre tub but just how much more I'm not sure.
One last thing... is there any specific type of flush I should use?
Thanks Rob.

The oil capacity should be in the back of your manual.  I am always nervous about flushing the oil on older engines.  I would like to see what others here would say about that.
