Title: Oil decision
Post by: i30mania on August 18, 2009, 00:40:17: I am going to change my oil with castrol edge but I couldnt decide to choose TurboDiesel or the ordinary one because Turbo is %20 expensive.

Post by: MRH130 on August 18, 2009, 03:59:04: It's very important with the CRDi to check that it meets the ACEA specification your car needs. If you use the wrong oil in one of these motors you could well end up having dramas. It's not just the viscosity that needs to be correct any more - it's got to be spot on in every way.

Unfortunately, oil that meets the right standards for the i30 diesel is expensive - but you're saving heaps on fuel costs, so look at it that way! :razz:

Thanks Reecho. That TSB seems to have conflicting advice though. See my post here ---> https://www.i30ownersclub.com/forum/index.php/topic,3666.0.html (https://www.i30ownersclub.com/forum/index.php/topic,3666.0.html)

If by chance you need a warranty repair on the engine, Hy will test the oil and if found to be the incorrect speci/grade they will null and void your warranty.

May be big bucks to repair so for a few extra £ $ make sure you use the correct oil.
