In there a concensus of opinion on the best oil to use on the 218 bhp 3.0D? I'm being lazy - not even looked at the manual for what spec is required

Make sure it's the Edge version that meets BMW LL04 - there's more than one formulation/recipe - though what the real difference is I don't know. The VW/Audi version probably has cock-ring nutrients in it

You sure that wasn't a price for 1litre?
That would be giveaway cheap and not at all like Hellfrauds!

Positive. I bought 8l for £35 sitting ready for when I give the beast a good service (car not missus) Costco had it cheap too a month or 2 ago

Oh Nuts !!! And I work just over the road from Hellfrauds too. I'll have to wander in there from time to time and just close my eyes to all the stick-on crap they are flogging these days.
