Hi
just rebuilding head on my 2.5 did, what oil would be best for a DiD engine with 114k on the clock, 5w30 fully synthetic but should I use a3/b3 or the higher grade a5/b5 ? thanks

I have run Castrol Edge 5W 30 fully synthetic in my 2009 since it was 3 years old - only @ 180k now. Costco is best price if you know anyone with a card 👍 I always use Wyns engine flush & drop sump plug

If it has a DPF make sure you use the Low Ash oil.
I always got Genuine stuff from Mitzi
