Novice question
What is the best  engine oil for 1996 Defender td5 ?
Manual suggests  SAE 5W/40 or 5W50, have looked online and suggestions vary to include 5W/30.
General use & it’s not too cold here on Islay so and thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks 👍

Been servicing my TD5s for about a decade now and always 5/40 and never an issue.   Alan.
