Still intrigued by what oils everyone out there uses...

Jeremy I use Castrol TXT synthetic and with a MAN filter and labour it
costs about 80 quid to change. This I do every 5000km. I usually change the
fuel filter at the same time cos we have rough diesel here.
Short interval I know but for reasons: a) the kind of driving I do which is
a lot tougher than in UK, b) short trips to the office from home and back
(but I get the engine warm in the process) c) I want it to live a long time !
Temperature gauge thread interesting. I don't know if the military spec has
any software behind it but my gauge has always risen when going up mountain
inclines on asphalt roads. 6 or 7 miles in 3rd or 4th gear is bound to heat
the engine. But as soon as I get to the top it goes back down to midway in
a couple of minutes. I see no problem with that.
