ECP oil

Here we go again.
Let's hope the mods act swiftly again.

Sorry I'm not advertising for them just asking if it's any good

cheshired5 Feb 26th, 2016 10:35

Many people use it and swear by it, others aren't so fussed so if it matches your engine spec and you want to try it, go for it.
Nothing will blow up.

Cheers it does according to the chap at my branch

The oil spec required varies so which D5 do you have exactly?

alftuper Feb 26th, 2016 10:49

It's a 2004 v70 164 Hp thanks

So the Euro3 163 then. That requires A3 B4 spec so any that match that are acceptable.
What oil do you have in currently?

I think it's shell helix

I tried a number of oils and when I got to Shell Helix Ultra 5 40, I stopped looking.
Nothing finer for a Euro3 163 in my opinion.
How your car feels can be subjective though so as long as you match the spec, there's plenty to choose from and experiment with.
