RE: Newbie question about oil.
ORIGINAL: DiscoRom
Thanks Spike555, I'll buy Castrol OR Shell Diesel Motor oil and diesel oil filter later, how many liters?
and should I be worried that the previous motor oil given is 20W 50? Whats the worst thing that can happen to my engine. Where I come from there are only a handful for LR service centers compared to Japanese counterparts and they are not that cheap.
Owning a rover is like adding another member of the family

RE: Newbie question about oil.
Ok, I had a chance to look up your oil sump capacity, according to the RAVE CD 5.8 L for the oil sump and .85L for the oil filter for the 300tdi engine.
How often you should change the oil will depend on the quality of the oil, your type of driving and your climate.
You live in the Philippeans, so hot humid climate.
How do you drive? Do you pull a trailer? Use it as a taxi? Delivery vehicle?
How do you use your truck from day to day?

RE: Newbie question about oil.
Got the specs. Thanks
I just use the truck for daily work, I should say not more than 10 kilometers round trip.
No heavy loads, just me, my wife and my daughter are the only passengers.
60 to 70% of the trip is bumper to bumper traffic with about 6 traffic stop lights along the way.
Speed rate is no more than 60kph (there is one strech of road that you can go "fast") but mostly below 30kph.
I like driving my rover to work.
