Mineral Oil - Paul McKay - 15 Jul 2008
I have topped up the oil using a 10w-40. I know semi-synthetic is the one most use, but i used halfords brand mineral oil (didnt realise this until i done it). This is what i use in my Pontiac Firebird.
Can i use this too in the D without problems?

dont see why not...... I use normal engine oil in my cars (including the De)
and have never had any issues.
Hows it going Paul anyway, long time no speak....

This is what I use. Would probably been the only thing around in the late 70's when the engine was developed anyway.
