Which Engine Oil?

[10G]

First oil change coming up for my 2013 CRD. Just wondering if there's a favoured oil for these motors?

I do my oil every 5000, it's something I do. Just thought I mention that in case that makes any difference.

Thanks.

Some use Mr Nissan oil others Delo 400 and myself use penrite oil
Try not to overfill

Sorry my bad I use 10W/40 which is what is recomended on the Penrite site.

Im just about to do an oil change when I can get someone to undo the sump plug for me.
I already have the oil 5w/40, so maybe next change I'll use the 10w/40.
Its not that I cant undo the sump plug its more that I cant get down to do it.
Ive got George doing the trans oils and filters in the next week or so as well

Yea I have the same issues getting down on the ground. Lucky for me the workshop next will let me put it up on the hoist when its not in use. Double hip replacement means I can stand up or sit down, I just dont transit to well. When I have to work under the vehicle I get all the tools within reach before I start.
