Well it is seeming like a euro 3 so happy days no dpf. I am
Picking it up tomorrow so hope all is well. I will definitely put top notch oil in by the look of things. Its only a extra £20 for that piece of mind the engine is as lubed as it gets. I just really hope the shell is good enough to service well and moon mile |

Doesn't need to be too expensive, https://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-69382-c...ngine-oil.aspx
https://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-68976-s...y-ferrari.aspx The shell is a great oil for these and with current offer £30 for a fill! I use Fuchs 0w40 which was £35 a gallon but has shot up to £42 making the castrol the best value 0w40. |

I wouldn't rush into either unless they are provably bad.
Plenty of D5s over a quarter of a million miles with original water pumps and thermostats.

Hi
Talking of auto gearboxes. I drive a ‘05 XC70 with an Aisin 55-51. It’s done 230k and runs okay. Having only hade it for the past 5k should I be considering changing oil in the gearbox? I’ve no idea when it was last done. |

Yes, do a drain & fill (D&F).
Doing it yourself? It'll only cost you 4 litres of fluid and an 18mm aluminium crush washer. A 24mm spanner and a catch pan is all else you'll need. You'll then see how dirty the fluid is. |

Thanks Georgeandkira. I’ve heard “war stories” of oil changes after so many miles ruining the gearbox; stopping it change gear properly.
