A little help here please,

I want to do my own oil changes mid main dealer service

I have been told to use Castrol MAGNATEC DIESEL 10W-40 B3 which meets the CF-4 spec for oil

Has anyone got any other reccomendations from other manufacturers?

Hi Mark

I used any 5w-30 from reputable companies (normally Esso)

It's cheaper in France, if you're going that way.

If you have a DPF unit fitted you should fit a 'low ash' oil 5-30 I believe.

Though I have yet to use it in my X-Trail, I always stuck with Millers XFE 10w40 Semi Synthetic in my previous 405 TD.

Thanks everyone

I like the look of the Millers XFE and will look at finding a local supplier.

I have to sort out the misfire problem before I get round to doing the oil change

Cheers
