I'm Chairman of a hobby group,who last year,bought a brand new diesel generator,for when we do demonstrations outside of the club hq,and it is now due an oil change,as it's done 20 hours. (We don't use it a lot at the moment.)
It has to be changed with 10/30 diesel oil,of a high grade,but I'm having trouble finding some.It needs about 2 litres,and of course,has to be diesel oil.
Where can I get some,and at what cost?

Google for 10W-30 diesel engine oil.

"but I'm having trouble finding some"
HI Helmet, Where have you already tried to find the oil?
|
|
Mostly garages that I've been into when buying fuel.
|
Try a good motor factor.
Should have it on the shelf.
Probably find 5 litres better than the price of 2 litres.
Thats if anybody can afford the carriage charges to get it to the stores! Tongue in cheek! But you watch prices rise as transport business go to the wall!

Morrisons filling station sells Havoline Energy 5W-30 which is suitable for diesels. (See ACEA and API ratings on bottle). While you wanted a 10w30, a 5w30 is a suitable alternative with better cold start flow performance.

Thanks everyone.
Rung up the shop we bought it off last year,explained our predicament,and he said we could use 10/40w as long as it was from a quality source,and as I happened to have 1.5 litres of Shell Helix 10/40w for diesel engines,that's what it got.
He did say that it might be slightly troublesome to start in the winter,to which I replied we don't use it between October and March,so this isn't an issue to us.
