    Grade for an 88 Volvo 740 24TD

    I have thought about HDEO's like Rimula but they are not easy to get and pretty prices when you find them, in fact the Mobil 1 TD is cheaper and easier to find.

    Your opinions please guys on this UK antique oil

    I think I saw that the can has a plastic pour spout inside the screw cap, worst oil for mess is the 5 litre bottle if amsoil I have, shallow cap + no spout = mess. Price wise its cheaper than the premium classic oils such as Millers, Penrite or Castrol.
