Before the hecklers start....Im learning so play nice. I haven't changed my own oil before. I have a 2000 Disco II with 91,000 miles.

Was looking at:

Rotella 15 40
or
Rotella 5w-40

It's december and I live in PA which would be better? Also any good oil filter recommendations?

Thanks!

 

The 5-40 is sythetic oil or dino oil iirc, so its more a matter of dino or synthetic oil.

Filters perulator fl1, wix 51515, mobal one 301 and quite a few otherr

 

Welcome to the club! Working on Rovers is easy--- you just gotta be confident.

So, if you're in PA i'd run 5w40 Rotella, probably a good idea.

A good, fairly common oil filter that many people use is the Mobil M1-301.

 

Welcome to the forum!
I run Castrol GTX 10W-40 with a Mobil 1 filter year-round (Land Rover recommends Castrol). But it doesn't really go below 32*F here in SF. In PA, I would run 5W-40 in the winter because it goes below freezing. Rotella is a good brand too.

BTW: just get conventional oil for Discos. I haven't noticed a difference between conventional and synthetic on these trucks. Change it out every 3,000 miles.
