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.

id use the turbo diesel oil if its a turbo.for the sake of a few $$$   but make sure its suited to your car.

The turbo diesel oil says "pre-2002"

i didn't know that :eek:but when i buy oil i read its applications. and if you dont know ask.

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!

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

Before you do anything.  What does the handbook recommend.

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.

I notice they are different shape and size bottle over there (only 4 litres) our 5 litre containers over here are enough for 1 service on the CRDi...

When i finish the castrol i have, i'm going to use ELF as that's what my service tech keeps recomending, it meet's ACEA and is hi quality fully syn.
