I'm looking to do an oil change on my 1.4hdi.
The issue is I can't find an answer to the oil needed.
My handbook says to NEVER use 5:40, and only use 5:30.
Most of my research says to use 5:40 though.
5:40 is £10 for 4L (castrol) in asda at the moment.
5:30 is £34 for 5L of budget.
I know I will need about 5L, so if I buy 2 bottles, I'll have plenty spare.
Which oil type should I use then?
