Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi just wanted to know what is the best oil to use in my mq patrol 3.3litre non turbo diesel it says in owner manual 20-50w can i just use 20-40w or what?
Thanks guys

does anyone know, what oil does everyone use in ther sd33
thanks

just ran rimula x in mine, changed it and filter every 5000, no drama.

rx super for me. I run in in the lawnmower too. If your motor is old it may clean it too well and make it more smokey

what thickness is the best to use e.g 20-40w ect thanks

i use 20-40 in mine, and i usualy get mid price range oil, cept every 20,000ks ill get penzoil or the likes.


but yes, a good quality oil does clean the old girl a fair bit and its abit smokier when i run the penzoil

i make a note of oil change at 5000 on the . or less, and all ways use the same oil. Whether this makes any difference to the motor or not i don't know but was always told to keep the same oil, so this is what i have done. Probably does'nt make any diff on my old girl cause who no's the history but i do it any way.

HPR Diesel 20-60 in mine.

wish i was good on the 5K though.. generally somewhere between 5 to 10K mine gets done. Then i generally spend the whole day on it, underneath with grease gun and spanners etc...

Also if going on long trips, ill do a swap before if iam not too lazy, otherwise definitialy when i get back.

Always swap the filter with change. i generaly do the fuel/air filter once in a couple o years. Ive only gotten a new pre-cleaner once since new
Proberly bout time for one of them id recon

Diffs and trans get done roughly between 20-30K
