What do you think of this in the ECP sale right now? ....

Sorry won't let me past the pic .... it's Triple QX Fully Synthetic 5w/40W 5ltr .... normally £29.99 but with code £17.99 right now.

I think this is in fact what has been used in the past but keen to assess the very best option to keep things well.

Thanks

For sure they do, but £17.99 for 5 ltrs seems ok value. As you say, if it's the right spec ... which is the main point for me ... to check it is the very best spec.

Yes, like Dieselnut I had one of these that I sold at 140k miles. (It's a very nice car to have found yourself with, especially as you say it's been well looked after). The 2.2 diesel did indeed have a DPF from the word go and should have fully synthetic oil that meets the various standards listed in the handbook. Don't muck about to save a few pounds and there's a good chance it'll give plenty more years of supremely comfortable, surprisingly swift 'magic carpet' motoring.

By the way, I don't know about the 2.2 being less well regarded than the 2.0. I never drove a 2.0 so have no personal experience; however, the 2.2 did seem well matched to the big estate, with strong torque. It was not particularly economical for a diesel (I usually got about 44 mpg) so maybe that's what gets it a bad press. But, hey, it's a large car that does not hang about!
