well i sold a b13 doing 230k and that was 4 years ago ..its still on the road..

i know these engines are a lot more tough and are designed to go much more miles than the petrol ones

what is the recommended engine oil for the L200 4x4 ?

equipped2ripp · Posted: Mon Dec 18, 2006 10:16 pm Post subject:

15w-40

go ahead and use castrol syntec blend, castrol turbomax guardian3, shell helix diesel, total quartz 9000, havoline texaco ursa premium tdx.

all are 15w-40 and are recommended for turbo diesel engines.
