According to the manual for my 2.8jtd Ducato I can use either 10w40. or 5w40 in our climate.
The usual oil used is generally 10w40 semi synthetic but In my opinion we would be better with 5w40 fully synthetic if we are using for van all year long in the UK as it gives better protection when cold and at least equal protection when hot. Our vans don't do a lot of stop starting like a delivery van and do more cold starts.
So do we have any oil specialists on here who know more than me?
Any opinions?
