I use Delo 400 @90ish for 20L. Even the old Delo Gold $88/20L is higher specs that required for a TD42T.

TD42 the spec is- API CC, CD, CE, CF, CF-4 or JASO DH-1*1. There will be a spec like that in your owners manual as long as the oil you have is to that spec then no worries.

It just goes to show how basic and old the TD42 is when the minimum recommended oil grade is CC!! Having said that I wouldn't have it any other way. I checked the valve clearance on my td42t the other day for the fist time in 3 years. Spot on a 0.35mm, can't argue about that.

Just reading through this thread, seems to me that different oils run better in different engines, what may be ok for one is no good for another.
The Delo400 seems to be most popular followed by Penrite 0w50' Also most are not taking into account if the EGR is blocked or not, this is
extending service intervals. I'll use Penrite next oil change to try as been using Nissan oil till now. This post concerns Z30 only as that was
what I was reading.
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there

Took my Simpson Editon for its first service and while I was there spoke to the service manager and they use Valvoline 10w40 semi synthetic oil.
So I am thinking I should stick to it for my 5k oil change.
2012 GU Patrol Simpson Edition. Auto. UHF, Bull Bar, 2" lift with Koni shocks, dobinson coils. 3" stainless Steel Exhaust.

I use Valvoline Durablend 10w-40 (DuraBlend SAE 10W-40 is a semi-synthetic motor oil formulated with a combination of synthetic and premium quality base stocks and advanced additive technology. DuraBlend 10W-40 meets the stringent ACEA A3/B3 specification for European vehicles) in my GUIII 3.0l. Valvoline Synpower is a full synthetic option. You can also use Engine armour which is from Valvoline as well.
All I can say is that this is a good quality oil that is the correct grade for my vehicle and I have had no adverse effects from using it.
