United Kingdom 2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 Metropolis LE Auto Bonatti GreyDiscovery 3

Run vw longlife spec 5/30 c3 in mine seems fine @ 154k.

Tried 5/40, the start up timing chain tinkle went on for quite a bit longer on 5/40 than it did on the 5/30, people tell me it should be the same, but I can only say what I heard for weeks until I went back to the 5/30.

Lynall what spec was the 5w40?

The Ford spec HTHS is 2.9. No way I would run this in a high compression diesel that I wanted long life (high miles) from.


Have a look at this comparison between the Ford spec oil and VW 504/507

While it started as a diesel thread, I’ve used Mannol 7707 5W-30 in my V8. It’s a good brand and the price is very reasonable - a 10 liter “keg” was around 5 eur/liter (and I need 7.7 liters). Thumbs Up

Mannol’s TDS says it is “recommended” for WSS-M2C913-B, https://www.mannol.de/create-pdf/313/en.

I did not realize that, while Mannol is a German brand, the production is really in Lithuania which the MSDS reveals, https://sct-online.sct-germany.de/SCTAppro...511_EN.pdf.
