Been told to use Mobil 1 Turbo Diesel 0w40.

Hi

I would use a 5w-40 synthetic.

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.

Cheers

Thanks tim, out of curiosity could i still use the one i mentioned ? (mobil 1 turbo diesel 0w40)

Hi

It should be absolutely fine, but as it's a 0w, you might find it can be a bit rattly on cold starts.

Cheers

Looking for engine and gearbox oil recommendations.

Cheers!

Hi

A good 10w-40 is ideal for your engine with that kind of use.

The best ones are the Gulf Competition, Motul 300V, Red Line and Millers CFS.

You need an MTF for the gearbox and the best proven options are the Red Line MTL, Amsoil MTF or Fuchs Sintofluid. The Millers TRX 75w-80 and Motul Motylgear are good alternatives.
