Hi All...I am looking at using an oil with the following descriptions, and wondering if it might be ok to do about 4-5000km's before dropping again (with a new fliter of course).

It is blended by FUCHS. API Rating CI-4 Plus/SL. SAE Grade 15w 40. ACEA E7/E5/E4/E3/B3/A3. Military Ratings MIL-L-2104F.

According to my trusty Max Ellery manual, the figures are API is CF4, and ACEA is either B3-96.98 or B3/E3-96.98.

Being a farm boy, It probably would have gone into the old tray back cruiser lol...but is it ok to put into my ZD30DDi???

Cheers all
