Orlando Diesel Engine Lubrication oil

Thought it was going to be a simple matter to pick up Lubrication top up oil for the Orlando Diesel Engine how wrong was I first the handbook not very helpful but with the references given Halfords and Tesco no help when looking at the what required, so went to the dealer I had the vehicle from straight to the parts department then guess what it was not listed then they found out reference numbers  but not exactly grade so looked in my handbook which told them the same as myself 5/30 but after a few phone calls found the right one, the computer system needed updating because of that soot burning thing thats been added to all new Diesels, the good news was I had 5 litre for £24 as a sale on otherwise £48 eek. gone have the days of GTX from Halfords.

Yes 5W/30 but its the other specs which matter cannot just use ordinary 5W/30 as some will cause problems as it has to conform to the manufacturers specs and if wrong stuff used will not be covered by Manufacturer if engine fails, always be safe than sorry. I know a pain but the stuff supplied is a fully synthetic oil.

Definitely 5w/30
