Oil in a PD170

[James86]

Morning people!

What oil are people using/recommending for the PD170 engine? Mine is very black now and could do with a swap.

Cheers

James

Hi
Just changed engine oil in my remapped 140PD, after research I opted for 507.00

Would you use the same 507 spec on a PD170 with a map and dpf delete?

Thanks
Taz

Yes

I used Petronas syntium when I had it serviced a few weeks back. Only because it was on a good offer.

I just bought 5 litres of Quantum Long life III from eBay for £25. Think it was an Audi dealer selling of excess stock.
