Engine oil

Postby robbie1003 » Tue Jun 14, 2016 2:14 pm

Anybody know the reason behind the recommended oil for a fap fitted dci to be 5w30 but a non fap 5w40 is listed? I ask as I have a non fap but have quite a bit of 5 30 oil in the garage that I use in our x type diesel.

FAP requires a special clean oil, ACEA C3. It doesn't matter much whether it is w40 or w30.
