Millers XFE-PD 505.01 probably the cheapest (around £25 for 5 litres) from one of your local car part shops You are probably better phoning round first because it seems only a few of them stock it.

fyldavo · 27-05-2007, 20:04

so is it just a case of gettin an oil that is 5w 40 fully synthentic regardless of make. im lookin at changin oil at every 5k so im not bothered about make as its not gona be in there long

Chrispy · 27-05-2007, 20:13

This is what puzzles me. I used to use Mobil 1 in my high revving cars and can't understand why such an oil is not suitable for the PD engine as it's good stuff.
A decent 5w40 oil is still a decent 5w40 oil.....unsure as to what standards is has to meet to be good enough for the PD.....

Lummox · 27-05-2007, 20:17

Very true but there is a lot more to oil than its weight at a specific temperature.

Its performance over time and pressure etc are all factors.

It needs to meet 505.01 at least.

fordfan · 27-05-2007, 21:49

PD engines have parts in them that run at very high pressures, these are in the region of 300 bar (normal tyre pressure around 2 bar). The oil needs to be specifically formulated to cope with these pressures, hence the particular 505.01 standard.

oilman · 31-05-2007, 14:12

As above. Its all to do witht he polymors that are able to take the pressure of the pd unit. Normal oils dont have these polymors so are really not up to the job.

Cheers

Guy.
