Oil..... Is this OK to use??

[Jono FD3]

Oil service:
A mate works in a motor factors and looked in their book of words for me, and aparantly it said to use 10-40 semi sinthetic??? I normaly run the castrol GTX (minaral oil) but they don\'t deal with castrol anymore!! so he droped this stuff off to me:



On the back it says that it\'s suitable for turbo charged engines (but a rotary is different as we all know!!) the only thing relating to the oil spec is this:

Specifications:
API SL (Petrol Engines)            
ACEA A3      

API CF (Diesel Engines)
ACEA B3,B4

And the fact it has DIESEL stated on it I\'m a little dubious!! ?? Anyone ??
I need to do the service ASAP (Today realy) as I have a mix of oil in there due to my oil leak the other week, which is all sorted now!!

Cheers

I would say a NO. Go for the Castrol GT mineral oil. Got 4lts for 15quid at tesco last time I bought some. You may need more than that though.

That\'s what I was thinking mate!!
They stoped dealing with castrol as they  dropped from a 5L tub to 4.5 and left the prices the same!! Bit petty if you ask me!!

But it works unfortunately. Means that you need more than one tub now to do a change !

I thought they put the price up a bit too anyway :spank

I guess the only reason they gave you the semi-synth is that they just cant get you the mineral!  Go change it for the stuff you know works! :Thumbs-up
