5W-30 oil OK in a TD5?
« on: December 23, 2013, 11:16:43 AM »
Hi all - before I make a schoolboy error, am I OK to renew my engine oil with synthetic 5W-30? I bought 10L and then read somewhere that it has to be 5W-40. I've not opened it, so it's not too late to change it if I've bought the wrong stuff.

1999 TD5 110 station wagon

Thanks - Dave

Yep, it's OK.  What I put in my old D2 and never missed a beat.  Alan.
