Whilst in Local sainsburys I noticed cans of Sainsburys 15w40 oil, marked as suitable for Diesel engines. It may surprise you to know that Sainsburys special offer was cheaper than local swindlery.
I didn't buy any as i have a feeliing that Marine Diesels don't get on with modern oil (i've always just bought what was in chandlers) but it set me thinking. Is their a type of oil available in the high street at high street prices which is the same as the stuff sold under the marine label?? How do we tell? The Volvo manual just says 15w40 or 20w50 so have I been too cautious ??
