First time posting after recomendation from another forum.
Just bourght a new- to me- landrover TD5 and had an oil test done the results are below. It's only had one dealer oil change and the sticke says mobil 1 so i assume it is Delvac 1 ,recomended by LR, which is what the test is based on. Since the report I've changed the oil to Castrol super R 0W40 and the two filters. I intend to have another test done at the end of the march by which time i should have clocked aboth 5,000Ks on the new oil. Of interest TD5's have been know to have leaky injector seals or worse cracked heads.
The **viscosity and fuel** were found on the test to be out of kilter and it was recomended that filters and oil be changed; now done
Would appricae any comments.
