Ive got a 2.0 hdi xsara and am due an oil change soon, i have got 5L bottle of diesel engine oil here, its Carlube triple R Turbo diesel semi synthetic 15w-40, its api ch-4, acea b3,b4,e3. Is this good enough to use in my HDi or should I just use it for my dads VX Combo van?
What do you resident experts think? Any tips appreciated....
thanks Paul

Always use the quality the manufacturer recommends, in this case you've got a good semi-synth oil, it fulfills ACEA B3, E3 - to find out what this means, check out:

then download "European Oil sequences 2002".
E3 is a pretty severe requirement, as you can read yourself!
I do a lot of work for Volvo trucks and they do NOT have the use of fully synthetic oils as a precondition for extending the length between oil changes.
