What brand of diesel oil do u use and how often is it changed

[tojo100]

tell us what oil is preferred why?and how long is your service period

[pauljygrant]

Castrol Magnatec 10w-40 non-diesel, used in my Pathfinder 2.5 turbo diesel R51 auto (non diesel particulate filter model).  Change the oil and filter every 10,000km and now has 155,000 without any problems.
Change all other oils (auto box, transfer box, both diffs) once per year. 
Diesel filter and air filter every second oil change.
Never changed the cooling fluid - often thought about it, but if its not broke....

Service Refill Capacity: 7.5 Litres

New oil filter @ each oil change
(I will replace filter @ 5,000 when under severe use)

Vehicle is under warranty, so use the Synthetic oil the dealership puts in there every 10,000 Km

Caltex Delo 400. I buy it in a 20 litre and change the oil and filter every 5000 kms

Caltex Delo 400. oil and filter every 10k for the 100 series TD. 20 litre drums for under 100 from the Caltex distributor, sometimes as low as $80 ish. Cruiser uses 11.3L every change so it pays to grab a couple when they're cheap.

Why? from recommendations from other users, far exceeds the required specs and is cost effective even against the Supercheap catalogue specials.

[corynmelnkids]

Vehicle is a Prado KZJ120 we use Castrol RX Super I change the oil and filter every 5000kms plus i change the fuel filter every 5000kms too.
Air filter is a K&N so no need to replace it.
The Oil in the diffs,gearbox and transfer case are all castrol oils and this get changed every year.
Coolant is changed at 100000kms when i do the timing belt.
I also change the brake fluid once a year.

It used to be Delo 400 for me too but I dont own a diesel now.
All(99%) Turbo diesel vehicles serviced in the workshop get Delo 400 while N/A diesels get Delo Gold.

Another tick for Caltex Delo 400.   Buy in 20l drum from local caltex distributor.
I'm still under factory warranty, and the isuzu handbook actually list specific oil brands to use, Delo 400 being one of them
Need to get service book stamped every 10 thou, but I do a oil & filter change in between.

I use Mobil 1 in my R51 Pathfinder. I too have a K&N air filter, it gets cleaned every 5k, Fuel filter every 5K and oil every 10K.

I do all other fluids as per handbook.

Cheers!!

[rotare]

Delo 400 changed every 15K.  Vehicle is Pajero DiD with LPG injection.

I use Penrite HPR Diesel in the 80 series. I change oil and filter every 5000km. I do fuel filters, diff and transfer oils every 10,000km also. Because I only use the 80 for trips and its our second car 10,000km takes a while to come around, so its no great expence.

Genuine Filters.
5000klms

Oil is cheap, engine rebuilds are not.

[gutters]

I use Penrite HPR Diesel in my Triton, changed very 5000km with a new oil filter.

Diff , trans and gearbox oils and coolant replaced once a year.

The Triton is not a daily driver and only used to drag the camper or have some fun on the weekends so we average under 10000km per year.

[swanny]

Nissan genuine oil (Diesel), service interval is 10k, however i do 5k services to include filters.

Delo 400 also, great oil out of many used before it.

[camperd4d]

Penrite hpr deisel,I change oil/ filter every 5k,and check oil pick up which is also very important on Toyota d4d engines. Dogdy injectors seals cause them to block up.
"Oh what a feeling"

[fuji]

 Penrite Diesel I think. Every 5000 kms. Well most of the time.

[brocky05fj]

The Jackaroo needs 10-30W or 5-30W oil, so I use Nulon 5-30W Long Life Diesel Oil, changed every 5000km, and both filters get changed as well.


Cheers

[Symon]

Nulon 15W-40 diesel every 10,000km.  Fuel pre-filter, fuel filter, oil filter and air filter all changed at the same time.  Gearbox, transfer and diff oils changed every 20,000km with Nulon 80W-90.  Coolant changed once a year.

[kiwipete]

Delo 400 5000kms and gen Toyota Oil filter...
Only J-Spec Oils for my 1HD-T

[Hairs]

Penrite HPR Diesel, Every 5000k's with filter.
I also have 4 magnets around the oil filter.

Had the Big End Bearings done at 300 000k's, been using the Magnets since the old girl had 245 000k's on her, the Mechanic said the bearings were like new.
So I guess they don't do any harm & cost nothing.
